Pocket PC calendar does not correct time zone changes
This article was previously published under Q268249
When you create a new entry on your Microsoft Pocket PC
calendar or in Microsoft Outlook, and then synchronize your Pocket PC, if you
change the time zone setting on the Pocket PC clock, the Today screen does not
reflect your calendar entries with the correct time. The Calendar events
displayed on the Today screen still show the time zone of the previous clock
setting.
An example of the behavior is as follows:
- From the Today page, click Start, select Settings, select System, and then select Clock on your Pocket PC.
- In the clock settings, change your clock to the Visiting
zone, making sure that the location of the Visiting zone is a different time
zone than your Home zone.
- Click OK, and select YES to accept changes to the clock.
Your appointments on
the Today screen now reflect the Visiting time zone. (For example, if the Home
zone is Eastern Standard Time (EST) and the Visiting zone is Central Standard
Time (CST), 8:00 a.m. EST appointments reflect the 7:00 a.m. CST
time.) - Change your clock back to the Home zone.
The
Today screen and Calendar events still display the appointments in the Visiting
time zone. The events remain in the Visiting time zone until the Pocket PC is
synchronized.
This behavior happens because your Pocket PC needs to be
synchronized with its partnership computer after you change the time zones.
To resolve this issue, synchronize your Pocket PC with its
partnership computer.
