Not a new topic but still an open question.

Birthday/anniversary entered in contact detail shows as all day event. I travel constantly and change time zones. How can I avoid the item changing to a two day event and how can I repair the damage to my calendar?

Isn't this a Microsoft/Outlook bug?

You can't change it - the all day event is linked to the time zone it is
created in and when you change time zones, it stays on midnight - midnight
in the zone it was created in.

Hi Diane, I also have this problem and it is extremely bothersome. I
recently moved to a new time zone (9 hours difference) and so all my
birthdays/anniversaries and other all-day events became 2-day events. There
must be something that can be done to rectify this without manually going
into each event and adjusting it. And then the problem will re-present
itself when I move again. What do you suggest as a way to fix this? Does
Microsoft have any plans to fix this bug?

Thanks, Michelle

In your case, yes, there is a fix - Microsoft released a time zone mover
tool to adjust appointments for permanent moves. It's not recommended that
it be used each time you change time zones while traveling.
