I too would like to know how to make the date field show blank instead of "None"

Sue,
Reading your statement quoted below. Is there anyway to have a Date field display as blank instead of "None"? It is confusing to my users on some non-required date fields. Blank would be much better. I've been searching Google like crazy, but can't find a solution. Thanks!

[You've probably noticed that Outlook never leaves a date field blank. Instead, when a property doesn't have a specific date set, Outlook always displays the word None. The word None actually represents a specific date—1/1/4501.]

On using a simple VBA program to export Outlook appointment items to a vcs file, the times on the vcs items correspond to the times when viewed as an Outlook calendar.

However, when importing this vcs file back into Outlook, all summer items have one hour added to them to adjust for summer time. As far as I can seem the vCal specification allows for a switch DAYLIGHT:FALSE which, if I have understood it, should stop this happening – but it doesn’t seem to when I tried it.

Another approach might be to export all times as GMT times, which is what Microsoft appears indirectly to recommend - but I am not sure how one would code this in a simple fashion.

Any thoughts?

C.M., the recipient isn't "getting" the date as 03/06/2002. It's just a display issue controlled by the user's Windows regional settings. The date will still mean June 3 to them.

Is there anyway to cause a date field to change format if the sender has a different date format to the recipient? So I send June 3rd, 2002 as 06/03/2002, but the reciever, who has his date format as d/m, gets it as 03/06/2002.
