XCLN: Message Date Displays as 12/65202/96

 Last reviewed: April 9, 1997
Article ID: Q161755

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

A 16-bit Microsoft Exchange client displays an incorrect date for mail received on 12/31 during a leap year. For example, instead of displaying 12/31/96, the date in the inbox is displayed as 12/65202/96.

Another symptom is that Schedule+ meeting requests for 12/31/96 display as 12/1/97 within the meeting request message. Choosing to accept the meeting request results in no action at all. The meeting does not get booked, and no error is displayed.

Yet another symptom may be that for messages sent on 12/31/96 with an attachment, the attachment (when saved to the hard disk) displays a file date of 13/18/d7 in File Manager and 13/18/99 at the MS-DOS prompt.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange client version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
