Importing a calendar item from other sites
I notice that when I import a calendar item from a webpage or other source (a
VCS file), my Outlook ALWAYS advances both start and end times by 1 hour. Now, I am sure that has something to do with summertime saving but I can't figure our how to resolve it. All help gratefully received. Thank you |

Thanks Brian,
Yes, they are exactly what I wanted. This is the output "DTSTART:20090907T200000Z DTEND:20090907T213000Z" The meeting was an 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm gathering. However, when inported to my Outlook it adds the 1 hour exactly to bring it to 9 to 10.30?? I'm stumped! "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "CliveDarling" wrote in message ...

Brian / Diane,
Thank you. The calendar item was created on a webpage with an .ie address in the GMT zone. The export (VCS) was created and dropped also to an email address (mine) at .ie also in the GMT zone.

Brian,
When I adjust and save, the timer is backtimed by 1 hour!! In other words, I adjust the start time to 8.30 pm but the VCS contains 7.30. Herewith adjusted output in VCS for an amended time of 8.00 to 9.30. "BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 12.0 MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20090907T190000Z DTEND:20090907T203000Z LOCATION:Theatre UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E008000000001047C3 CD9C22CA01000000000000000 01000000078300702BB24664089500FCCF7AA7CFC DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:= =0D=0A SUMMARY:Readings for Sive PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR" "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "CliveDarling" wrote in message ...

Are you in an area that honors BST? I get a few reports during the summer
that its use of GMT initials for BST is confusing - my guess is its related to DST settings on one of the computers. (Don't blame Outlook - it gets the zone identifiers from Windows.) -- 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: "CliveDarling" wrote in message ...

Importing a calendar item from other sites
Thank you, Diane
I'm not sure about the BST issue; I am based in Ireland which uses GMT as its zone. The Windows XP time and date that is displayed is absolutely correct. It would appear, from the data I extracted, that it is aytmy PC end that the problem arises i.e. the import action makes a 1 hour change when dropping to my PC. Is there somewhere I can check around my settings to see what may be going on? Presumably, this really is not an Outlook issue?? "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: Are you in an area that honors BST?

Importing a calendar item from other sites
Folks,
I've tried this on another pc running Vista and exactly the same thing happens!! The VCS contains the data I expect BUT when imported to MS Outlook under Vista, it has advanced the meeting by 1 hour. As I said, I am in Ireland and both PCs are in Ireland. Is this cracked? "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: Are you in an area that honors BST?
