Title: Dealing with Timezones in CDO 1.21 calendaring
Description: Then creating appointments in another user calendar, I have had a little trouble setting dates correct in some circumstances. The problem was that the user had another timezone set on the Exchange server than the user creating the appointment. I found a solution that temporarily changes the user's timezone with Session.SetOption solved the problem.
