Get Appts to display in current time zone?

[Bill Cohagan]

I have a bunch of appts that were added to my calendar from a web site (PDC
site) while I was in Central time zone. These appts were added and are
displayed in Central time. Now I'm in LA for the conference and have reset
the time on my computer to Pacific time; however these appts are STILL
displayed in Central Time! How do I get them to display in Pacific time?

This is Outlook 2007 running on Win7. The appts display with the time zone
drop downs showing.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

You'll have to change them yourself. Outlook stores times un UTC and adjusts
the display according to the time zone you're in. So, if you are in CST and
make a meeting for 10 AM CST (4:00 PM UTC), your meeting will show as 8:00 AM
in PST. Changing your PC's clock won't change the meeting's time of 4:00 PM
UTC. Meeting times are fixed, not relative, values.
