Outlook showing appointments as all day events when they are not

C

Clog

I am a (relatively) new user to outlook (XP home running under win98). Having
set up a whole series of appointments (most of which are weekly reoccuring)
outlook today is reporting some of them as all day events when they are not.
Help suggests unchecking the all day event box - the check box is not showing
on the problematic items - the items do not span more than (say) two hours
and do not cross days. Have checked knowledge base cannot find anything - any
ideas please?

What do you show as the start and end times for any example appointment that
exhibits this behavior?

Hi
Thanks for getting back. Typical appointment would be say start 8am finish
11 am, reoccuring each Monday; another start 7pm finish 930 pm reoccur every
two week Wednesday When viewed on calander times are shown correctly; problem
only shows up on "outlook today", when times are replaced with "all day
event".

Have found a work round, more of a fiddle I think! If I open up the
appointment from outlook today, cancel the reoccuence, close the appointment,
go to the next reoccurence, reopen, set reoccurence back dating to original
start date - then times appear on outlook today, at least for this week! Of
course what I can't see is what will happen next week - if you follow?

Either I'm missing something in my understanding or the is a clitch with
outlook on reoccuring appointment? Thanks again.
