Default Problem with All day event

Aloha teenzbutler,

Correct - "All Day Events" will always block out the whole day and that's
not configurable.

Outlook 2007 adds the ability to specify what time zone the appointment will
occur in which may take some of the pain out of it. But otherwise...

This problem occurs on all machines. We run terminal server and
connect via Exchange. Our time comes from our Fileserver so everyone
connected to the network has the same time. I don't understand why
an all day event would be 24-hours. So what your saying is, we cannot
change this feature.

Aloha teenzbutler,

You can create appointments with any start/end times you like - but
the "All Day" Appointments are always going to be 24-hours. Your
aforementioned problem sounds to me like there is a time zone
mismatch on one or more of the workstations. Does the problem happen
to all of your attendees or just certain ones?

Hi Ben. All of my attendees are in the office. It is very
confusing
because
as stated below, the Start is 5:00 pm and the End is the next day at
5:00 pm.
That is a 24-hour period. Is there a way to program it to be an 8
hour
period, i.e., 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Typically, a work day is 8 hours.
Let me
know.

Aloha teenzbutler,

Are the attendees all in your same time zone?

I use Outlook 2003 SP1. I have a problem when I select an All Day
appointment. This is what happens:

1. I double-click on a day in my calendar to create a new event
2. Click the Invite Attendees button and add my attendees
3. Type in the Subject
4. By default, the All day event is check marked
5. Click the Send button
When my attendees receive the invitation, their calendar reflects
a
2-day event. This is what they see:
Start time: 6/28/06 5:00 pm
End time: 6/29/06 5:00 pm
This is causing a lot of issues. Is there anyway to change the
"All
day event" to be 1-day only and have a Start time of 8:00 a.m. and
an
End time of 5:00 pm?
Thanks in advance.
