The following data is an excerpt from the code that is used in article 181483. The code was modified to use the "(GMT+02:00) Helsinki, Riga, Talinn" time zone:
'CONSTANTS FOR THE CONTAINER RENDERER 'Time Zone Constants for the US
CONST CdoDefaultFolderCalendar = 0
CONST CdoTmzEastern = 10
CONST CdoTmzCentral = 11
CONST CdoTmzMountain = 12
CONST CdoTmzPacific = 13
CONST CdoTmzAthens = 7 ' Contains "(GMT+02:00) Helsinki, Riga, Talinn"
CONST CdoTmzEasternEurope = 5
CONST CdoTmzBerlin = 4
CONST CdoTmzMoscow = 51
CONST CdoTmzHongKong = 21
CONST CdoTmzGMT = 0
'CONTAINER CONSTANT
CONST CdoClassContainerRenderer = 3
strProfileInfo = "MyServer" & vbLf & "MyAccount"
Set objSession = Server.CreateObject("MAPI.Session") objSession.Logon "", "", False, True, 0, True, strProfileInfo
objSession.SetOption "calendarstore", "outlook"
Set objRenderApp = Server.CreateObject("AMHTML.application")
Set objCRenderer = objRenderApp.CreateRenderer(CdoClassContainerRenderer)
ObjCRenderer.TimeZone = CdoTmzAthens
objCRenderer.DataSource = objSession.GetDefaultFolder(CdoDefaultFolderCalendar).Messages
Set objView = ObjCRenderer.Views("Daily Calendar") objCRenderer.CurrentView = objView
objView.RenderAppointments now, Response
Note This problem also occurs for appointments that are created by using CDO and then viewed by using Outlook when the "CdoTmzAthens" time zone is explicitly set in the code.
