SYMPTOMS
An appointment in Microsoft Outlook 98, set as an All Day Event, appears to span two days when viewed from another time zone.
CAUSE
Selecting the All Day Event option schedules the appointment from 12:00 A.M. to 12:00 A.M. When the calendar is viewed from another time zone the time is adjusted for that time zone, therefore the appointment overlaps two days. This makes the appointment appear to span two days.
MORE INFORMATION
When an appointment is set as an All Day Event its title is displayed in a heading bar at the top of the schedule window. The time from 12:00 A.M. to 12:00 A.M. is blocked out in the schedule with a colored bar down the left edge of the window. The color of this bar indicates whether the time is set as Free (white bar), Tentative (light blue bar), Busy (dark blue bar), or Out of Office (purple bar).
When viewed from another time zone, the event's title bar displays a small clock, indicating that the time of the appointment has been adjusted from the original time zone. If the event is viewed from a time zone that is two hours later than the original time zone, the time will be adjusted to 10:00 A.M. of one day till 10:00 A.M. of the next day. Both days will show the events title bar.
