DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CALENDAR ISSUE

We strongly suggest that users of ANY calendaring program, PIM, scheduler, etc. (Palm Desktop, Outlook, etc.) check their calendars thoroughly during the periods of March 11 to April 1 and Oct 28 to Nov 4 of 2007.

Instructions for how to fix problems in GroupWise are below

Consequences of Using old DST information

Before a workstation's time zones are updated, an appointment scheduled for the time period between the old and new DST transition dates could be off by one hour. For example, an appointment scheduled to occur between March 11 and April 1, 2007 (the new and old DST start dates), will be scheduled at the wrong time because wrong DST information will be used. This will only be apparent after updating to the new DST transition rules.

This behavior also applies to appointments scheduled to occur between October 28 and November 4 of 2007 (the old and new DST end dates), or during any similar period in future years. After a workstation's time zone definitions are updated, appointments can be correctly scheduled for these time periods.
