"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
I noticed that when I create an all day event that just lasts a single day if
I do not know an exact start time but want it to show on the calendar, in a table calendar view the event shows as being two days when it is really one. The format shows it starting at 12:00AM and ending at 12:00 AM the following day. The logical thing that should happen is when you check the "All Day Event" the time goes from 12:00AM on the start date to 11:59 PM on the end date, otherwise, when viewing the event in a table view, it looks like it is carrying over an extra day. Any solution for this? |

"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
What version of Outlook?
on an open message All day events should say Start: date 12AM End: same_date 12 AM and span one day on the Day/Week/Month view. I don't know why it doesn't also say the same day in a table view - but it really is just a 1 day event. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

news on an open message All day events should say Start: date 12AM End: same_date 12 AM and span one day on the Day/Week/Month view. My open all-day events don't have a time value for the start and end times on the Appointment tab but they do have12:00AM for both the Start and End time on the Recurrence dialogue (when there's a recurrence). I don't know why it doesn't also say the same day in a table view - but it really is just a 1 day event. In a table view, they show 12: AM on the event date for a start time and 12:00 AM the next day for an end time, so the Recurrence dialogue is consistent with the table view. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
What version of outlook do you use? My recurrences don't show an end date
for the first occurrence, just 12 am start, 12 am end in the recurring dialog. They have the first start and end date/time in a table view which is identical to non-recurring events. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003. I do not have the event set up as a
recurring event. In the "events" view I set up the start and end formats to show both the date and the time. Even for the already loaded holidays the "Duration" field only shows that it lasts 1 day, but the Start indicates i.e. 5/25/2009 12:00 AM and the End indicates 5/26/2009 12:00 AM. The problem I'm running into is since this is a shared calendar of events, when users are looking at the calendar in the "Events" view, an event that is created and set as an "All Day Event" looks like is two days in duration when it is really only one. Some users are becoming confused by it. I'm trying to think of a solution to eliminate this problem, but logically, an all day event should only go from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM and not 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM. It is a programming issue in outlook that needs to be fixed for the "All Day Event" selection. It occurs in Outlook 2007 as well. |

"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
Are you using the table view? It's fine in the Day/Week/Month view - it's
shown on one day and opened events are 5/25 12 am to 5/25 12 am. You can make the events 12 AM to 11:59 pm (technically, it would be 11:59:59.9) if you want, or add the duration field to the view so the users can see its 1 day. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
Yes, it is in the Table view that the start and end fields display the event
as being two days but when I add the duration field, it does only say 1 day. I'm going to use both those workarounds, but I still think it is a bug that microsoft needs to fix. I tried calling them and all I could get was the charge support and I said I'm not going to pay to report a programming bug to you guys. |

"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
Outlook's table views have always shown the end date this way - I wouldn't
look for it to change anytime soon as it wasn't a priority in the last 14 yrs. In all honesty, I've heard more about this in the last 3 months than I heard in the previous 14 yrs. It took a few weeks to even figure out why some people said the all day event ended a day later - most people seem to use the Day/Week/Month view, not a table view. Now to figure out why people are suddenly using table views... -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

"All Day Event" Time Display Issue
I'm not sure you understand what John is saying. I use the day-week-month
view [Microsoft Office 2007 Outlook--I'm gradually forgetting how 2003 works]. The point is that, once you send an "all day" to OTHER calendars, it appears on those calendars as two days [no matter the view], but everyone wants the "all day" setting (instead of some particular time-to-time) because it appears at the top of the day's list of events, rather than occupying some space for any duration on your calendar--and crowding the calendar unnecessarily. Start a new calendar event, then on the "show" tab [or "access toolbar" or "ribbon"], click on "scheduling." [I don't remember how this works in Outlook 2003.] Under "scheduling," despite the appearance on my calendar that 'all day' runs from 6/1/09, 12 AM to 6/1/09, 12 AM [the same day--and appears only on 6/1 when I 'save and close'], you can see in "scheduling" that the 'start' and 'end' times are actually 6/1/09, 12 AM to 6/2/09 12 AM [and you cannot effectively edit this setting and, at the same time, preserve the 'one day' checked box]. Obviously, there's some logic there--'all day' is 24 hours, not zero hours, but Outlook cannot read 12 AM to mean both the beginning of the day (6/1) AND the end of the same day (6/1), rather than reading the second time as the next day (6/2). When others recieve that "appointment," their Outlook reads it [6/1/09 12 AM to 6/2/09 12 AM] as two days--the event is an 'all day' event that stretches across two days, despite the fact that it is only a one day event. This happens consistently to everyone else who is synchronized with my calendar (some of whom run 2003 and some run 2007) on the same network. To me, the solution for Microsoft should be that, in the "scheduling" 'start' and 'end' times, i should be able to permanently change and program the definition of 'start' and 'end' times for "all day"; e.g., I may want to define "all day" for my Outlook to always consist of 8 AM to 12:00 AM [meaning the end of the same day]. Or, on the fly, I want to be able to adjust the definition of 'start' and 'end' of 'all day' in "scheduling" for particular appointments. (Whoever receives my calendar events, can open them and see the details of start and end time.) "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "JohnB" wrote in message ...
