TMGR: Entering Dates Without Year Default to Next Occurrence (153351)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Team Manager
This article was previously published under Q153351

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Team Manager, if you enter a specific date (such as Deadline), without specifying the year, Team Manager assumes that the date you specified is the next occurrence of that date after the current month.

For instance, if today's date is May 18, 1997 (5/18/97), and you specify a deadline for a task by typing "4/30" (April 30) in the Deadline field, Microsoft Team Manager will populate the field with "4/30/98."

WORKAROUND

If you must specify a date prior to the current month, you can select a date by clicking the drop-down calendar for that date field, and choosing the appropriate date. Alternatively, you can specify the year with the date by entering "4/30/97" instead of "4/30."
