TimeZone Problems when adding appointments

[remmus]

Hello Everyone,

Over the past few months I've been trying to get my head around creating a webservice that allows external users to view when employees are free at the company and then request a meeting with them.

Using some Microsoft examples this has now been implemented by displaying a users exchange calendar so the external users can view when employees are free / busy then request a meeting with them via a simple webform. which creates the appointment request.

This all works fine or seemed to until I noticed that although the date stored in exchange was correct in the users calendar the times were offset by one hour.

After a lot a head scratching and checking of Time Zones on various machines I've found that it is because I am making an appointment for after the go clocks forward. I have a feeling it will correct themselves when the clock changes but it is very confusing to see an appointment from 10-12 when it is actually at 9-11.

Anyone have any ideas how I can get round this?

Cheers for any help you can be.

Remmus

Thanks for the link.

It'll give me something to prove that it isn't down to my poor coding.

I've had this problem in the past and the users workstation did NOT have the daylight savings check box checked. So when the clocks were set forward of backwards for daylight savings their pc wouldn't automatically change accordingly which always made them behind or ahead 1 hour.

My clocks on my calendar moved 1 hour forward. Still can't figure out why.
