Outlook 2003 Calendar Malfunction

[Guest]

I've been using Outlook 2003 without problem for several months now. Last
night I opened it up as usual, and when I went to my calendar view (I use the
31 day view) I noticed that all of my events/appointments, past, present, and
future, had been changed. Whereas most of them were single day appointments
(no times indicated), each and every appointment now incorrectly spans
multiple days and times. There's also a black clock symbol in each
appointment box on the main calendar view. I certainly didn't make any of
these changes myself, and I don't recall hitting anything that I hadn't
touched before. Anyone know what gives?

Is your time zone and DST settings correct? They were changed and that
affected the appointment.s.

Ohhhh.....yes, you're right. I just moved from Eastern Standard Time to
Central Time Zone. I will be in central time zone for two months, after
which I'll be returning to Eastern Time.

So how do I go about fixing this? Should I just set my computer back to EST
and then just set the computers clock back one hour? Thanks for your help.

Never fix it by setting the clock wrong - that will cause problems with mail
servers etc.

Either set it to eastern and configure Outlook for two zones and if you
can't live without the task bar clock, get a windows clock that supports two
time zones and set it to display the central zone or set it to eastern time,
export the appointments to a CSV file, change the time to central and
import. I prefer the first option, but most of my trips are just for a week
to 10 days.
