Century Information Lost with m/d/yy Date Format (131519)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows 7.0
This article was previously published under Q131519

SYMPTOMS

When you create an appointment and the date format is set to m/d/yy, Schedule+ only recognizes the last two digits of the year. For example, 1902 is changed to 2002, and 2999 is changed to 1999.

CAUSE

This is by product design.
