Sorry, it’s one of those little computer questions which some people hate, but I can’t figure this one out at all. I’m trying to do this:

Tools - Options - Calendar options - Time zone - check ‘adjust for daylight saving time’

When I click OK, then open up Time Zone again, it’s become unchecked. Huh?

Hmmm, mine doesn’t have that problem. What version of Outlook?

Outlook 2002, on XP. The Windows clock is set to GMT with automatic daylight savings, so I wonder if it might be conflicting with that somehow. At the moment, Outlook is retiming all my recurring appointments so they’re listed an hour earlier in the summer.

It’s trying to tell you something… I’d bet it’s possessed by Ben Franklin.
