Speaking of how great MS Entourage is... - jimbrady - 03-27-2008
I was trying to help an Entourage user with her calendar today--seems that any event she enters shows up in the calendar as starting exactly an hour later than the start time she has entered.
Tried deleting the com.entourage plist from her preferences, but no joy.
Feature?

Daylight savings.

Of course. This is something not worthy of a software update? Prob'ly fixed in Office '08 (???).

Wait a minute. She schedules something for TODAY at 4pm. She types in "4:00 PM" on a system with the correct date and time displayed in the menu, and it displays 5pm in the calendar record. Does that not seem transcendently stupid even for M$?

Is it connected to an Exchange server? Perhaps that is the issue.
What version of OS is she running? Does she have last year's daylight saving's time patch applied? Is her clock set right on the computer? : )

No. 10.5. Software Update is uptadate. Yes.

How long has this been going on? For some reason, I just don't think this is Microsoft's fault.
Has she checked Entourage Preferences...and then the Calendar section and made sure that the correct time zone is selected for it?
Re: Speaking of how great MS Entourage is... - jimbrady - 03-27-2008
Preferences show nothing obvious to adjust. As for time zone, are you telling me Entourage will shift peoples' events to a different time zone than the one they are in? In this case, a time zone in the middle of the Atlantic that's one hour later than New York?
Re: Speaking of how great MS Entourage is... - onthedownlow - 03-27-2008
What version of Enourage is this? X, '04, '08? In Prefences...along the left-hand column menu...there should be Calendar, and then once that is selected, there is a drop down box to pick the time zone to use with the Calendar, which operates independent of whatever the system clock is.

Entourage '04.
