Last reviewed: January 28, 1998

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server versions 5.0, 5.0 Service Pack 1, and 5.5
Microsoft Outlook 97 versions 8.01, 8.02, and 8.03
Microsoft Outlook Web Access versions 5.0, 5.01, and 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you create a new appointment or meeting request, you may receive the following error message:

   The end date you entered occurs before the start date.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you enter a meeting date and/or time in which the end of the meeting chronologically comes before the start date and/or time. For example, if you create an appointment that starts at 5:30 A.M. and ends at 5:00 A.M. on the same day, you will receive the error stated above. This is by design.
