Topic: Outlook synchro trouble with ICS

Hi,

When I import an ICS from LuxCal to Outlook, times are not correct and are one hour late
Suppose there's a link with summer time or so.
I tried and change stg in Outlook, made an incredible mess when syncing with my droïd so I came back.
But still annoyed, tried to make time change in LuxCal, no effect.

Any key anyone ?

Re: Outlook synchro trouble with ICS

Hi there,
When you've exported and downloaded the .ics file from LuxCal, could you have a look at the content of the file and in particular to the "DTSTART" of a known event.
it will look like: 

DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20190713T200000

and the last 6 digits indicate the time in 24-hour format. Here you can see if LuxCal is producing the correct time, and consequently Outlook is adding one hour, or that LuxCal is producing a wrong time.

Re: Outlook synchro trouble with ICS

Hi Roel

I have this :
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20190809T090000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20190809T110000

The event is starting at 0900 and finishing at 1100 as written in the ICS, so Luxcal ok.

Seems Outlook makes a correction somewhere but .. same location selected ... and if I change, then the calendar on my mobile becomes mad !

Btw, no chance for direct sync from Luxcal to the mobile ?

Thx for help and job !

Hubert
