Multiple Time Zones and the effects on All Day events in Outlook

[Marc Pechaitis]

Hello,
I am working in a job that requires frequent travel
between EST and MST time zones on a weekly basis. I like
to switch the timezone on my system clock to account for
which part of the country I am in.

When I set up a calendar appointment for 9am while on EST,
outlook will automatically set it to 7am when the system
clock is switched to MST. This is good.

However, any "All Day" appointments that I have set up
(and I use this functionality alot) will also be pushed
back two hours. This is not good, because outlook
considers an "All Day" event to run from 12am to 11:59pm.
Once I switch the system clock back to MST, my "All Day"
event now starts at 10pm the PREVIOUS day.

Has anyone else encountered this? More importantly, is
there any type of solution?

Thanks,
Marc Pechaitis
ps. any reply directly to my email would be appreciated!

I tend not to change the system time at all - get an add-in 'travel clock'
that will tell you what time it is in your location.
