Hi-

All of a suddent today all my Holidays and All Day events are all of a
sudden 2 day events. They show up on Outlook 2002 as events that go from
12pm to 12:30pm the next day. I don't know what I did or what happened. I
do have a Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC running WM2003 that syncs with Outlook but
I don't know what could have happened. Any suggestions on how to fix this
would be REALLY appreciated since all my holidays for the next 100 years
stretch 2 days and this would be almost immpossible to fix manually. Is
there a way to delete all the US holidays and just readd them? I would
REALLY appreciate any help with this once again. I am running Outlook 2002
on Windows XP Home. Thanks!

Check your time zone and daylight saving time settings in both Windows
and Outlook. Usually the problem you describe occurs when there's a
time change of some kind -- Outlook takes it upon itself to move the
appointment times. It's a little complicated to fix it, but you can use
one of the methods described in the following two MSKB articles to help
you fix it.

Thanks - actually I noticed I only had about 200 or so appointments like
that so I just went and deleted all the 2 day ones. My original 1 day ones
were still there too. I still don't know what caused it though because I
haven't changed times or time zones or anything. I guess I will just back
up more often and hope it doens't happen agian. Thanks again!
