Sorry to hear about your problems. This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but I remember the first time I took a trip from Japan to the US with Entourage on my iBook, I was bewildered because every daytime event I entered would move itself to the previous night. In due course I stumbled on the cause: In preferences, under "calendar" there's a setting for the default time zone for new events. Once I switched that from Japan time to the local US time zone all was well. Then of course I had to switch back after I returned to Tokyo. I do think E'rage is a bit too smart for its own good in juggling time zones. For example, when you shift your time zone in the system preferences, all your existing events get shifted accordingly. So when I look back in my calendar at periods when I was in the US, all the events show up in Tokyo time, unless I temporarily switch the system clock, which is a nuisance to have to do. I'd personally much prefer a setup that would simply ignore time zones. Failing that, I think that at least the default time zone for new events should automatically be set at the system time zone. Anyway, good luck getting your events to stay where you want them! -- Jeremy Whipple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Setagaya-ku, Tokyo -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
