Sorry, can't reproduce that. In fact i don't even think that it's possible. Changing timezone does not affect events in any way, only the way you see them, so duplication is impossible.
The report lacks some details, like - is this person using "microsoft outlook" to synchronize his events with schooltool, or he means that he is sticking with outlook and not using schooltool? Were events simple events or all day events? Was he seeing duplicate events in schooltool or MS Outlook? What is the version of schooltool/schoolbell you are using? If he is synchronizing events with outlook (we haven't tested schooltool <-> MS outlook integration really), what was the exact sequence of actions ? There is a chance that it is enough to synch events with MS outlook twice and you will get duplicate events without even modifying the timezone. On 6/23/06, Graham Perrin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I dutifully changed the time zone in SchoolTool and it duplicated a lot of the appointments I'd already entered - presumably because with changing the zone the system got confused about what day some appointments should be on. I then went to delete one set of appointments covering three days and the system asked me if I wanted to delete just this day or the whole series. I clicked on the whole series and it's deleted ALL my future appointments. Needless to say I'm not particularly happy, especially as I have to re-enter all these manually since I use (and will continue to use) Outlook. Just thought you might like to know in case it's in time to help other people avoid the same problem.
