slightly OT...DST scheduling differences between desktop and handheld

[John Dutton]

This is because DST needs to be updated on your handheld device.  I have
attached the file or you can download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/eula_daylightsavings_1033.m
spx .  This will correct your pocket pc to the current 2007 dates for
Daylight Savings Time.  They are radically different from past years.
Everyone with a calendar program on a handheld is affected.  Home computers
are not because it is one of Windows automatic updates (provided your pc is
set to automatically check for such).  The PC update in question is
KB931836.

Pocket PC/outlook users,

 

I was recently scheduling appointments between the March 12th and last week
in March, when I found an interesting and annoying anomaly.  All of the
appointments I schedule for that period of time on my pocket PC show up as
an hour later on my desktop computer, and vice versa.  I am assuming because
Outlook got updated to reflect the new Daylight Savings schedule, while
ActiveSync didn't get the same update.

 

I was just wondering if any of you have experienced this annoyance.  I will
probably try to upgrade ActiveSync at some point soon, and when I do, I'll
report results.
