Entry spanning 2 days

In addition to my personal Outlook calendar, I use several shared calendars
located in one of our network public folders. I'm running MS Office 2007.
On my personal calendar, an entry that spans 2 days (say March 17 1:00pm
until March 18 1:30 pm), shows the entire time blocked in the day and week
views. However, the same kind of entry on the public calendar does not show
the time blocked on the calendar; instead it appears at the top of the
calendar across the two days like:

1:00 pm TEST SUBJECT 1:30 pm

The time is not actually blocked within the day. Are there settings
somewhere that I can change to make the blocked time actually appear in the
calendar, and not at the top?

You specified an event that runs continuously from 1:00 PM on March 17 until
1:30 PM on March 18. In other words, it has a start time of 1:00 PM, March 17
and an end time of March 18, 1:30 PM. It sounds like, instead, you wanted to
specify an event that runs on both March 17 and March 18 from 1:00 to 1:30 PM
on each day. This is done by creating an event on March 17 from 1:00 to 1:30
that has a recurrence that is daily and occurs twice or that begins on March
17 and ends on March 18.
 
The event actually spans both days..it's not meant to be 1 - 1:30 on both
days. It begins at 1pm on one day and continues through to 1:30 the following
day.
 
Are you 100% sure the events are identical? When they span 2 days at the top
they are 24 hours or longer, when they split across two days they are under
24 hours in length.

Diane,

THANK YOU!!! Yes, you're correct. The events weren't identical. The one
that was driving me crazy is greater than 24 hours and just showing at the
top. I wish the entries would just split across the two days for all
entries, but at least for now, I have an explanation. Appreciate your help!

Is the time marked "Busy" on both?
