Default MAJOR PROBLEM WITH TIME ZONES

Have you considered using tasks rather than the calendar for those
things?

It shouldn't matter... this is what Microsoft does not seem to understand.
All day is just that all day. People do not make all day events on their
calendar to represent a 24 hour event, but rather events without specified
times. Anniversaries - Birthdays - Etc. I happen to use all day events alot
because my business requires a number of things be completed on certain days,
but not a specific times.

What version of Outlook are you using? Are you changing the computer's
clock/time zone when you change to the other time zone?

There is a major problem with the handling of time zones on All Day Events.
The people representing Microsoft claim it be "intuitive." What it is is
costly. Outlooks handling of this has completly ruined my calendar more than
once forcing me to completely delete. I would estimate costing me and my
company thousands of dollars due to missed appointments.

Microsoft Outlook handles time zone changes for all day events incorrectly.
It is time for MS to stop claiming it operates the way it is supposed to and
admit they made a mistake - AND FIX IT!!!!!

It is my understanding that other major calendar applications handle this
correctly. Unless Microsoft can get on board with what their users need, and
not be to proud to admit the current system is wrong... I suggest everyone
find other systems that actually work.
