Export Calendar Problem

Becuase of a restricted security environment, I cannot sync my pocket pc at
work. My solution has been to export calendar and task folders, and then
email the exported files which I can then import on my home computer, which
is synced with my pocket pc.

I have a problem that appointments are 1 hour out between the time shown on
my work Outlook, and that which the export file states - e.g. an appointment
which is shown as starting at 9:00am will be exported with the start time
being 8:00am.

I put this down to an adjustment for day light saving (currently applied in
New Zealand) and wrote a quick piece of code to advance the start time of
all appointments by an hour. Strangely though, not all appointments are
advanced by an hour - only some. There is one recurring appointment I have
and whilst all others require the one hour adjustment, this one doesn't. I
am wondering whether it was created whilst daylight saving was not applied,
and Outlook internally adjusts for daylight saving yet stores dates and
times internally without adjustments.

Can anyone help?

Simon.
 
Have you checked both time zone AND daylight saving time settings in
Windows, Outlook, AND on the Pocket PC?

Yes. They are all the same. Following the data through, it is the very
first step where the problem occurs. If I create an appointment, say start
time 9:00am, the export file has it with start time 8:00am. All Day
appointments go back to 23:00 the day before, ending at 23:00 on the actual
date. One recurring appoimtment however, occurs weekly at the same time
(4:00pm Monday's) does not get changed - hence when I run my code over the
export, it is adjusted to start at 5:00pm.

Ideas?

Thanks, Simon.
 
Hmmm...I'm drawing a blank on this one. I'll poke around and if I find
anything, I'll post back here.
