A Birthday or Anniversary Spans Two Days in a Calendar (275456)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Pocket Outlook 3.01

This article was previously published under Q275456

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Pocket Outlook, some anniversaries, birthdays, and other recurring all-day events such as holidays, may appear in your Calendar on two consecutive days.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Pocket Outlook exhibits the same behavior as other versions of Outlook when it is synchronized.

Outlook treats anniversaries and birthdays as all-day events. If you change the Microsoft Windows time zone after you create an all-day event, the event may span two days instead of one. If you change the time zone back to the one that was in effect when you created the anniversary or birthday, the all-day event reverts to the correct time and spans one complete day.

All Outlook calendar events are sensitive to the change of time zones.

RESOLUTION

If you synchronize with Outlook running on a Windows personal computer, you can end the connection with the Windows computer, confirm that your time zones settings are correct, resolve the issue on your personal computer, and then re-synchronize your Pocket Outlook with Outlook on your Windows personal computer to resolve this behavior.
