Got a new computer - imported my old calender to my new computer and all of
my meeting times were moved up 1 hour. Any ideas how to fix this without
doing each item individually??

by the way, i confirmed that all the time zone settings were the same on the
old and new computer (both the computer and outlook) - everything was in
central - before I imported.

Thanks.

You may have checked the time zones, but did you check them both in the
Windows clock and in Outlook's Calendar? Did you make sure that the
daylight saving time settings agreed on all places? Your symptoms are
indicative of a DST setting mismatch.

Everything matched (both computers and outlook) - both time zones and DST
settings. I've made that mistake before (between PDA and computer) - so knew
better.

Just to make sure, I double checked everything and re-imported to the same
effect.

For now, I have shifted my Outlook to Mountain time - which has the correct
time (and I am no longer an hour late for meetings) - but I am worried about
the long-term effects of doing that.

Other than exporting to a *.csv file and manually changing in Excel - do you
have any suggestions for fixing this problem?

Thanks.

What happens if you don't import, but just open the PST? You should never
import form or export to a PST because strange things can occur and you lose
data on some items.

What long-term effects do you imagine, except a little confusion from time
to time?

I don't know of any other way.
