wrong dates

[lula]

Hi, my coworker who is using outlook 2003 in win 2000 has several
appointments in the calendar and suddenly the start date and end dates went
crazy.

Example: if he had an appointment on Friday, the calendar shows that it
begins on Thursday and continues until Friday. I'm not sure if it is putting
the start date one day earlier or if it changing more than that. There are
some appointments that are recurrent like "Payday" that I know it is only on
Friday - even though appears from thursday to friday, but there are other
appointments that now he doesnt know which day they really are.

is there any fix to this? do I have to reinstall Outlook?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

Hi Diane, thanks for answering me. they were day events, but suddenly Outlook
put a start time of 1 am and an end time of 1 am, that is why some of them
are taking 2 days.

Some of them though are taking more than 2 days. I do have a screenshot if
you want me to send it....

thank you for your help.

Hi Diane, thanks for answering me. they were day events, but suddenly
Outlook

This symptom indicates that there is a DST or time zone problem. Check the
time zone/DST settings for both Windows and Outlook.

 

[lula]

the time and date in windows seems to be fine. I don't know how to check the
date in Outlook though, but windows has GMT-5 Eastern time (which is our time
zone) and the date and time are correct....

How do I check time or that DST in Outlook?
thank you Brian...

outlook should use the same settings as windows - but go to tools, options,
calendar options, time zone to verify.

did you change the time zone setting recently?

the time zone in Outlook is correct. He said he did not change the time zone
setting recently. He did say though that he was playing with colors, or some
views in order to make it look prettier.

Any other suggestions?
thank you

views and colors wouldn't do it - somewhere or another the time zone or
daylight time option was changed.

I will personally check the time and date and the daylight time option.
Although the time changed (for everybody in the US) the last week in October
and that might be when the problem started. I will check the settings again,
BUT if it is not that, any other suggestions?

thank you for your answers. I really appreciate it.

Keep in mind that DST update happened after most operating systems were
released and unless the computer was updated for the new dates, its not
going to change on the correct date - many users get around it by adjusting
the computer clock or changing the the time zone they are in and this causes
other problems.
