SYMPTOMS
When you use World Clock to change the home city on a Handheld PC (H/PC) or
Palm-size PC (P/PC), Pocket Calendar may not properly update single
occurrence appointments.
Pocket Calendar does properly update the recurring appointment times.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Pocket Calendar is running when you use World
Clock to change from a home city that is on daylight saving time to a home
city that is not on daylight saving time, or to change from a home city
that is not on daylight saving time to a home city that is on daylight
saving time.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
- Quit Pocket Calendar before you use World Clock to change the home city.
- Use World Clock to change the home city, quit Pocket Calendar, and then
start Pocket Calendar.
- Use World Clock to change the home city, reset the H/PC or P/PC,
and then start Pocket Calendar. For information about how to reset
the H/PC or P/PC, see your hardware documentation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows CE,
versions 2.0 and 2.1.
MORE INFORMATION
When you start Pocket Calendar, it stores information about the current
home city in a cache. When you use World Clock to change the home city,
Pocket Calendar adjusts single occurrence appointments for daylight saving
time according to the information in the cache. Pocket Calendar only
updates the cache when you start the program.
If you change from a home city that is on daylight saving time to a
home city that is not on daylight saving time, Pocket Calendar adjusts
appointment times for the new time zone, but does not disable daylight
saving time for single occurrence appointments. If you change from a
home city that is not on daylight saving time to a home city that is on
daylight saving time, Pocket Calendar adjusts appointment times for the
new time zone, but does not enable daylight saving time for single
occurrence appointments. When you restart Pocket Calendar or reset the
H/PC or P/PC, Pocket Calendar updates the home city cache and
displays the appointments at their proper times.
This issue does not occur with recurring appointments because they are
dynamically adjusted by Pocket Calendar for daylight saving time.
