All Day Event - Calendar Sharing

T

Trevor

Hello,

We use Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003 in our organization. My remote
employees use RPC over HTTP to keep their Outlook calendars and emails
synched up.

When one of our remote employees in the Eastern Time Zone sets an "all day
event", such as a vacation or holiday, it shows up as 2 days on our view
(Central Time Zone) when we look at it in the office. This is creating some
big issues for us.

Is there a way to make an "all day event" not be time-zone specific?

Not in Outlook/Exchange 2003. However, all-day events ARE
time-zone-specific. Certainly New Years Day in Hong Kong doesn't correspond
to New Years Day in, say San Diego. The Earth revolves. You can't change
that.

Brian,

I appreciate the response. I am very aware that there are different time
zones around the world. What I want to know is how to turn it off when "all
day event" is selected (instead of choosing midnight to midnight). There
must be a way to do this. It is a simple request and it seems many users
would find it helpful.

Alternatively, do you know of another calendaring application that would
allow this? We do not schedule by time of day. Only complete days. In our
case and for our purpose the time zone auto-correction must be turned off.
Thanks!

Why "must" there be a way? What evidence do you have that such an option
exists?

I thought I read that Outlook 2007 will have the ability.

Sorry, no I don;t.
