time discrepancy

[leegalbeagle]

I am new to pocket pc (just upgraded to a 2215 from a Palm IIIx). I also downloaded the trial version of Intellisync to sync an outlook subfolder to the 2215. The problem is that the times posted in the device calendar are 1 hour later than posted in Outlook. Where did I go wrong?

Check the time zone region and day light saving time settings on both pocketpc and desktop and make sure that they are match.

I can find the time zone settings on the device, but I don't see daylight savings time setting.

I think pocketpc automatically adjust dst (when you select the appropriate time zone), on the desktop there's an option not too adjust dst in date/time setting.

Ok.. this is frustrating. The clock on my PC and on the 2215 both show the exact same time. I have tried automatically adjusting for daylight savings time. I have tried NOT adjusting for daylight savings time. My device appointments are still an hour later than outlook on the pc.

There is also time zone/DST setting inside Outlook on the desktop itself, you may want to check it as well (Tools > Options > Calendar Options > Time Zone ).

There're some old threads that may help as well;
