XWEB: End Date of Appointment or Meeting Changes Incorrectly

• Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you modify the Start Date or End Date fields of an appointment or meeting request in the Outlook Web Access (OWA) client, the month field of the End Date may incorrectly change to the next month.

CAUSE

This behavior only occurs when both of the following conditions are met:

The current month has more days than the month in which the appointment or meeting request is being made. This will usually occur when the current month is one of the following: January, March, May, July, August, October, or December. All of these months have 31 days.

-and-

The current day of the month is greater than the last day of the month in which the appointment or meeting request is being created. For example, you might see this behavior if the current date is January 31 and you select a day in February to create a meeting request or appointment. If you then change any fields for the start or end dates, the month of the End Date changes to the following month (March, in this case).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook Web Access version 5.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
