Re: Calendar appointments off 1 hr. -- this is absolutely driving me to drink!

Well, I uninstalled the Patch, Reset, Re-installed the Patch, Reset, Disabled Network Sync, Changed Time Zone to London, Reset, Changed Time Zone back to Eastern, left Network Sync unchecked, and Reset.

The times now show correctly!! Interestingly, when I look at one of the events that is effected, it first shows up with the incorrect time, and quickly changes to the correct one. Not confidence-inspiring, but at least it gets corrected.

The main remaining problems is the Holidays. In Outlook 2007, I was able to "Import" United States Holidays into the Calendar, and these appear just fine. But each of them is a single, annual event, rather than an annually recurring series.

On my TP2, these all appear 1 day early, and again they show up as individual annual events.

So there's no practical way of editing each and every U.S. holiday, for every coming year. I tried changing one even on the TP2 from a single event to an annual series, and it ended up disappearing on the Outlook calendar! Another event changed from once a year, as I set it up on my TP2, to once every 12 years!! I've seen that bug spoken about too.

I can change the individual Holidays in Outlook 2007, make them annual, and they will then show up correctly on my TP2 (I make the change with the TP2 in Activesync connection, so they sync immediately). But I then end up with double entries for each of these in subsequent years, since it has individual entries for each holiday for each year (pretty stupid!!).

So my personal dates and events seem to be working correctly; it's just the Holidays that are still screwed up, thanks to Outlook 2007's method of having them as single annual events, rather than a recurring annual series.

(And in retrospect, I think I omitted the reset after installing the patch the first time around, which is why it didn't work that time.)
