Default Outlook 2002 Time Zone Help

I'm really stuck on this one and hoping someone has an idea.

I have a very simple Outlook form created in Outlook 2002 that uses no VBA
coding but uses several formulas. We have two offices in different time
zones. There is a date/time field on the form and when someone in one time
zone starts the form and someone in another time zone completes the form,
that date/time field displays different times. The problem is that we do
everything in eastern time and I always want that field to display an
identical time to the people in both the central and the pacific time zone.

Is there any way (preferably, using a formula) to suppress Outlook
correcting the field to the local time zone short of just making it a text
field?

No, because there's nothing you can use in a formula that would give you the local user's time zone offset.
