Default all day events for different time zones

Brian,

It is ridiculous that you are taking MS side on this. Yes, an all day event
is from 12:00 to 12:00 in one time zone, and 11:00 to 11:00 in another. But,
you are completely missing the point.

In our case, we are not focused on TIME. We are focused on DAY. I just
want to notate what city my people will be in on any particular day. Outlook
time zone makes everything span several days, so it is difficult to properly
decipher where they are on any given day.

Another example is vacation. If the guy on the east coast puts a vacation
in as an all day event, when I read it from the central time zone I see two
days of vacation.

Yes, Outlook is working correctly by fixing time zone issues for me. But, I
don't want it to. It is wreaking havoc on us and our people who are
interpreting the schedules.

I've been reading all day how to solve this problem and there is not one
solution I can find. Only complaints from users and people telling the users
to use Outlook differently. It is very frustrating.

Our company and organization has people in many time zones. Whenever
someone posts an all day event to our group who is in a different
time zone, Outlook changes that event to span multiple days. This
messes up the other peoples calendar making it look like a multiple
day spanning event. When Outlook has an all day event, it should
ignore time zone and schedule it as an all day event no matter what
other time zones are involved.


But an all day event in one time zone DOES span multiple days in another
time zone. Why do you want Outlook to lie to you?
