Issue creating new appointment

M

Mike

Hi,

When I create a new appointment in Outlook 2003 (11.8010.8017 SP2) I
get different behaviour depending how I do it :

If I select "New" from the menus or toolbar in the whole month
calendar page I get a dialog that has the "All day event" box
unchecked, ditto if I right-click in the selected date and select
"New Appointment" from the context menu.

However, if I double click the selected date I get a dialog box that
has the "All day event" box checked.

I know this sounds like a minor issue, but having to manually uncheck
this box before I can input the appointment time each time I create an
appointment has got to be irritating in the extreme. Is there a fix
for this does anyone know ?

Many thanks,

Mike Davies

There is no "fix" because it's not broken. This is working as designed.

But why is it different in the two case ?

Because that's the way Microsoft programmers wrote it.

Well I am a customer and I say it is broken. I am sorely disapointed
to know there is no switch or registry entry to fix this fault in
Outlook 2003.
