Outlook Date problems

[amac64]

I have a problems with the Birthdays and Anniversary dates being changed by 1 day, always the day before what I put in. If I put 01/27/06 as a birthday on a contact, sometime over the next day, it will change to 01/26/06. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it.

Thanks
Andy

does anyone else have this problem?

Yes. I do.
To further clarify:
Birthdate and anniversary reminders show up correctly on the WinMo Calendar.
However
If you go to Start > Contacts choose a familiar contact and click on it. Scroll all the way to the bottom. The birthdate and anniversary date for that contact are listed INCORRECTLY as one day earlier than the correct date.

The correct birthdates and anniversary dates continue to show up correctly as calendar reminders on the WinMo device. They also remain correct on the synched PC's Calendar AND Contact Items.

It's only the individual contact card on the Windows Mobile Device that has the birthdates and anniversaries incorrectly one day early.


I suspect there are a number of people with this problem who have not yet investigated it.

In getting to the core of the problem and trying to help out, I can say I am running Device- Tytan II based, USA, AT&T Tilt / 8925 / Kaiser. HyperDragon III December 25th ROM. PC Is Vista 32 bit Ultimate SP1 with all MS Office Updates and with the 8-2007 Windows Mobile Device Center Update. MS Office Small Business 2007.

Will be working next few days to forensically determine if caused by ROM, WMDC, Outlook 2007, infection / infiltration.

Any other members with similar situation, please post details and info!

My phone has the stock HTC ROM. It did the same thing when I had activesync on a XP machine and WMC on my current Vista PC. I've had the same problem with a 8525 as well. The only common part is contacts and MS Office.

It changes the dates on both, I don't use reminders on birthdays so I haven't seen that, but if the date is wrong, how can the reminder be right.

I hope you find something, thanks for the help.

I have an AT&T Fuze (HTC Touch Pro) with stock ROM. Syncing with Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager on a Vista Ultimate SP1 laptop. It appears that only the birthdays during Daylight Savings Time are off. All Microsoft updates have been installed.

It is indeed a DST bug.
And I've now seen it on a number of different phones / configurations.
Here is how I solved the problem.
YMMV

First be sure to back up your .pst files!

Downloaded this Microsoft DST patch
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0d6fc192-3142-4473-b435-b514e4b360a5&DisplayLang=en
Put the .cab on phone's micro SD card.
Powered up phone and synced it with WMDC.
Opened Outlook and deleted all contacts - i.e. moved all contacts to the Deleted Items Mail folder.
Waited while WMDC synced / removed all contacts from phone.
Disconntected phone from computer.
Went to phone's File Explorer and went into the Storage card and found the DST fix cab I downloaded to the card earlier.
Ran the DST fix .cab
Rebooted the phone.
Attached phone to computer and ran WMDC.
Opened Outlook
Went to Deleted Items email folder and one by one dragged each contact back to its original Contact Folder location.

When contacts were synced back and on phone again, birthdates and anniversary dates were showing correctly both on the computer and on the Windows Mobile Phone.

What a pain! Not sure that was the best or easiest way. Not sure if it will work for anyone else. Again be sure to back up your .pst file first in case anything goes wrong.


I'm convinced this problem is more widespread than most people are taking note of.

Because. Birthdates show up correct on Outlook / computer. Birthdate reminders show up correctly on the calendar of both Outlook and Windows Mobile phone. Which is more than enough for most people. Im betting in large part people dont scroll down individual contact cards on Windows Mobile phone and take note of the birthdate written on the contact card and notice it's one day off.

Now I just hope when we switch back to daylight savings time I dont have to go through some convoluted process all over again!
