From: Vladimir on 21 Jun 2005 06:33 It is absolutely incredible that one MUST stick to single time zone to make things work properly!!! If I change time zone on my computer, the whole calendar will go totally wrong!!! and I discovered that when I missed my d**n flight!! I cannot believe that this is happening. It gets worst - this is the case even inmy Pocket PC!! The whole thing with time zones is completely useless, and I have to manually change to clock, of not, all scheduling goes down the drain... ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

BTW - changing the computer clock to show the correct local time instead of changing the time zone will really screw things up, especially if you connect to a network. Many mail servers won't accept mail from systems if they are wildly out of sync... and it irritates a lot of people when the mail shows the wrong sent time. For this reason, combined with Outlook's handling of Time zones, I use the two time zone feature in Outlook and a clock that will display the time in any time zone (there are many clocks that display the time in different zones - I use power pro http://powerpro.webeddie.com/index.html). -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ "Vladimir" <vladimir.pran(a)gmx.net> wrote in message news:DDA24A80-0100-4846-9DB7-06E3CF158428(a)microsoft.com... > It is absolutely incredible that one MUST stick to single time zone to > make > things work properly!!!
