Hi,
OL2003
Whe I invite contacts for a full day from my Outlook Calendar, my
calendar entry shows the correct date, e.g. Starts at January 18, 2006,
Ends at January 18, 2006.
The sent invitration, however, shows Starts at January 18, 2006 00:00
Ends at January 19, 2006, 00:00 - which of course is wrong.
Is this a bug or can I change that somerwhere in Outlook's numerous
options?
TIA
Ruedi Sommer
 
Actually, that sounds correct. Midnight on Jan. 18 to midnight on Jan. 19 is 24 hours.

Well I always thought that a day starts at 00:00 and ends at 24:00...
The invited people report that they have a calendar enty for 2 days
after accepting the invitation, whilst my calendar enty correctly shows
1 day only.
It seems that I only can avoid this in changing from full day to a user
defined period.

There actually is no 24:00. Time goes from 23:59 one day to 00:00 the next day.

Are the invitees in the same time zone as you? Are you all using Exchange as your mail server or are they Internet recipients?

This is usually the result when someone's Daylight Saving Time or Time Zone
setting is incorrect.

Both. I was inviting people who all are on our company exchange server
plus external participants (with the same invitation). It happens to
all.
One invitation was only sent to external participants. It also happens
when I invite only colleagues on our exchange server.

OK, it's not that important, I was just wondering...I'm not using the
full day option again.

Thanks to al who gave advice.

I don't think you answered the question about the time zone. It matters a lot.

Sorry Sue, you are right. All participants are in the same time zone as
I am and at least the one on our server have definitely selected the
same time zone.
