For more than a year I've have used as my only Outlook
file outlook.pst which is located on my wife's computer.
Our two computers are connected through home network.
When I open Outlook on my laptop Outlook opens the file
on my wife's computer. All was well; we shared contacts,
email accounts and folders and even tasks.

This week I convinced my wife to use Outlook's Calendar.
she noticed that a number of appointments were scheduled
an hour earlier than they should have been. She made the
corrections. Now when I open the Calendar on my computer
the appointments that she fixed are an hour later than
they should be. We have a mess! Half the appointments
on her computer are correct and half on my computer and
we don't know which is which or why Bill Gates did this
to us!

Her operating system is XP Home and mine is XP
Professional. We are both using Outlook 2002. Her clock
and my clock are with in a minute of being identical.

Any insight you can provide to help us resolve this
problem and restore domestic bliss would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks, GrandpaB

outlook.general.

G'Day GrandPaB,

1. Check the WINDOWS 'Date and Time' and 'Time Zone'
settings on BOTH PCs. Outlook inherits these settings.
Under 'Time Zone' make sure that BOTH have
'Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes'
checked.

2. Check the OUTLOOK 'Calendar Settings' for BOTH
Tools>Options
Calendar Options
Time Zone
'Adjust for daylight saving time'
should be checked on BOTH PCs.

And a G'Day to you too Pat.

Thanks for the tip; you nailed the problem! After I
turned on "Adjust for Daylight Savings Time" on both
computers, the problem was gone. I had thought of that
as a possible problem, but when DST arrived both
computers made the adjustment. Since they both
automatically synchronize with an Intenet time server, I
guess that is how the one computer's time sprang forward.

Thanks again, GrandpaB
