Holidays span two days when they should span one

Holidays ought to span one day if they are one day holidays. Easter,
Flag Day Memorial Day and all the other one day holidays as supplied
with outlook start at 1AM and end 1AM THE NEXT DAY.
Is there a fix other than change all 168 one at a time . Will I do
that? I DON'T THINK SO!
Delete em all is the first thought.

Its caused by a change in the time zone. you can use the group by category
view and delete all the holidays then add them back.

Is it fixed in Outlook 2007. Don't want to do this twice a year. Is
there a fix for this obvious design flaw?

It was fixed last year when the changes became law. Microsoft made time
zone updates available. Did you install them?

I have all updates but this probably changed before I got them. I
removed all and put them back and now it is ok.

What "time zone" updates? Are you refering to daylight savings, perhaps?

And what law are you refering to? Presumably something in the US? If so
it's affecting me, at least, here in Australia.

AU had changes in their time zones too.

Events spanning 2 days is caused by changing the time zone in windows - this
is either because you moved or because the time zone you use had an update.

I haven't moved. I'm in eastern Oz. GMT +10 during winter, +11 during DST.

Don't understand how the zone could have an update unless it's refering to
the fact that we ended DST a week later than normal (first Sunday in April
rather than the last Sunday in march). It caused a lot of problems,
particularly for airline scheduling, people whose mobiles got their time
off the phone network, etc. and those computers without updates that
changed back a week before they should have.

At work we had twenty million patches installed on our servers. The IT
dept was kept busy leading up to the period. However, some apps still
barfed.

And we'll see it all over again this Oct when we go DST 3 weeks earlier.

And I'll no doubt have issues with my PVR and the EPG being an hour out
like I did in the week between the old DST end date and the new one.

But the PCs in the house will all be switched manually.

it's because the date dst starts and ends changed. There is a patch for
windows xp and vista which should solve it for appointments. If you make the
changes yourself when the time changes, the calendar may still be messed up
for the affected weeks because its using the wrong TZ definitions.
