From: bitz79 on 20 Nov 2008 16:18 I experience the same issue as "barbwong(a)gmail.com" for a meeting scheduled by my European counterpart. Everytime he sends an update to this recurring meeting Outlook says, "This meeting request was updated after this message was sent. You should open a later update or open the item on the calendar." I'm thinking the root cause might be that he is in CET time zone while I am in EST time zone, so when he sends an update the update will always appear out-of-date because the time is later in CET time zone. Outlook has to have some way of handling this, I'm sure, just not sure of the mechanism or setting I need to change to handle this scenario or maybe there is no way of getting around it. If it turns out there is no way to avoid this because we are in different time zones, that will be annoying because Outlook acts like everything is OK even though it doesn't perform the updates. For example, I received an update today (20 NOV) for the cancelation of meeting on Thanksgiving (27 NOV) from my European counterpart, after which I hit the "Remove from Calendar" button and the update moves to the "Deleted Items" bin, but the meeting is still on my calendar. How frustrating! It would be nice to know how to avoid this glitch and thank to anyone who can provide this information.

I'm not saying you're wrong, because in this business we're all aware that anything is possible, but Outlook should handle differences in time zones very nicely. But if the CET user is set for EST, for example, all the appointments he creates will appear to be just fine but they'll be nine hours off when received by the EST users. These kinds of time shifting issues are nearly always attributable to misconfigured time, time zone, or DST settings. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." ..
