OL2000: Imported Appointments Are Not Adjusted for New Time Zone

ID: Q218291

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you export an appointment to a text file in one time zone, the time zone information is not adjusted when the appointment is imported to a different time zone.

CAUSE

Time zone information is not exported with appointments when it is exported to a Comma Separated Values (CSV) or Tab Separated Values (TSV) text file.

RESOLUTION

Export the appointments to a Personal Folders (PST) file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

If you export a 9:00 A.M. appointment from a computer set for Pacific Time as a text file, and then import that file to a computer set for Central Time, you might expect the appointment to be adjusted to Central Time (11:00 A.M.). However, this does not occur; the time zone information remains 9:00 A.M. on the second computer.
