Calendar View showing duplicate/wrong entries for daterange spanning multiple days

I have a calendar view that is supposed to show multiple days where users reserves an equipment. I have created 2 calendar control date/time fields in the form to indicate the start and end date of reservation and created a hidden computed (DateRange) field to calculate the Date Range values.

Formula → @TextToTime(@Explode(@TextToTime(@Text(req_start_datetime) + “-” + @Text(req_completion_datetime))))

I checked that the hidden filed is computing the values as expected.

Within the calendar view, I have set the first column as sorted hidden column with DateRange as the column value and set it to show multiple values as seperate entries. The view seems to be working fine but having an issue when a user reserves an equipment for mutliple days. It shows the entries for the dates within the date range but also shows duplicate entries and entries within and beyond the date range too.

Ex:

Start Date: 05/27/2008

End Date: 05/28/2008

DateRange hidden computed field is storing the values as expcted, i.e:

05/27/2008

05/28/2008

The calendar view shows one entry on 05/27/2008 and corresponding entry on 05/28/2008 (which is correct), but one more on 05/28/2008 and corresponding entry on 05/29/2008 too, which is not even within the date range!!!

I tried various combinations and options, but could not get it to work properly!

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

It might just be a red herring but the first thought that springs to mind is ‘TIMEZONES’?I recall from memory that timezone issues used to create flaky diary entries.

If it is due to TimeZone issue, is there any view/column setting that I can change to fix this. I have the column property - 4th (Advanced Format) tab - Style value set to Date/Time. I tried changing it to General…but could not get it to work!

You might want to search for Timezone and Calendar in this forum to see possible solutions, if only to eliminate that this might not be a Timezone issue.
