I just ran the Outlook DST patch and several of my "ALL DAY" apts. suddenly spanned TWO DAYS!

If I unchecked 'all day event', I noticed some of the events had 11pm. When I re-checked 'all day', it then correctly showed on one day.

I am using outlook 2003, xp sp2 against a pop3 account ( NO EXCHANGE SERVER).

I have an Axim Pocket PC using activesync 3.8. I have previously used a tool to sync to my google calendar. When I copied back the .pst file (from before my install of the DST patch), one of the apts. then showed up correctly as a single day, but some other of the apts remained as two days (which really shocked me).

So, here's my question:
----------------------------
Based on my bad experience with the Outlook DST patch, I'm thinking that the cure might be worse than the disease.

What happens if I don't install the Outlook DST patch for the 5 Execs I support. Is the scope of the problem only apts. during that 3 week period that were previously scheduled? Will new apts. be ok once the system time automatically changes as a result of the OS DST patch?

If I do run the patch, and have the instruct the execs to verify their apt's anyway, why not avoid installing and ask them to do the same thing?

Yes, the various DST patches are confusing and sometimes do not work.

If you do not install the patch, yes, only appointments from March 11 to April 1 are affected. When system time change, new appointments will show correctly. You may have problem with others who has the patch sending your Exec's appointments before the time change.
