From: JGreg7 on 19 May 2010 13:37 I applied the TZ patches and DST patches as well, however when I upgraded (Well, let's say changed to...) to Office 2007, the date mis-mash happened all over again. Even with a few new twists I had not expected. It is all fixed now, but after the last round, I do not trust it. I have gone back to a paper calendar for important items.

From: JGreg7 on 19 May 2010 13:40 Thank you for your post. I had not noticed the shading in the week view, since I never really use the week view (most of my scheduleing is over a month or two). The weekend shading is exactly what I would like to see for the month view. Why do you suppose that Microsft saw fit to higlight working hours in the day view, and weekends in the week view, and neglected to allow that in the month view? -- Thank you, John Gregory "Diane Poremsky" wrote: > > JGreg7 wrote: > > Thank you for your suggestion. > > > > I considered the all-day event idea, however I try to avoid "all-day" > > events > > since they tend to turn into multi-day events when daylight savings > > time > > occurs, or when I travel and the time zone is changed.

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 19 May 2010 15:57 If I knew the answer to that, I'd be rich. :) It makes no sense to me and you aren't the first to ask for shaded weekends / non-working days in month view. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "JGreg7" <JGreg7(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D741E4E2-2233-4EB2-ABB3-096CE83DAFC5(a)microsoft.com... > Thank you for your post.

I've upgraded from Outlook 2003 to 2007 and now 2010 and not once did my event dates display improperly at the time of DST change. I wish I could tell you what to examine. > Let's hope that one day Microsoft actually looks at these newsgroups to see > what some of the issues are... These newsgroups have never been official support channels and Microsoft has decided to close them all down come June. They want to use http://answers.microsoft.com/ instead. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
