Calendar Changing

[Guest]

Most of the bookings on my calendar are listed as All Day Events. The
calendar keeps changing them to timed events and adds extra days. Is there a
way to stop this from happening?

Thanks...

if it's changing them by an hour and full hours, you are accessing them
using two systems and the time zones are not identical on both.

Nope, it is on one computer and they are going from full day to hourly.

When you say all day to hourly, do you mean like 11 pm to 11 pm so its still
24 hours or something like 12 am to 1 am ?

are they syncing a pda?

I schedule my meetings a week at a time. In doing that, I always check the
"All Day Event" box. It stays that way for a while, but then changes to a
timed event. The "All Day Event" boxes are unchecked for each appointment.
This happens without syncing a pda.

Any suggestions?

Thanks...

But is the timed event 24 hrs long?

Do you use a Dell laptop with media direct? It could be one of the side
effects of the outlooksetup addin (cyrberlink).

Yes, when it switches the timed events are 24 hours, which stretches the
scheduled meeting out for another day. As I said before, this is not only
happening with the meetings I put on the calendar, but with the holidays,
too. It stretches Christmas out for two days, July 4th two days, Father's Day
two days, etc.

No, my laptop is an HP and I am using Outlook 2007. However, this was
already happening when I was using Outlook 2003.

Is it changing them to like 1 am to 1 am or staying on 12 am to 12 am? It's
classis symptoms of time zones issues - the appt were created with the
computer on a different zone or on a different computer that used a
different zone.
