BUG: SQL Enterprise Manager Encounters Unhandled Exception When Creating New Task

ID: Q194765

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

BUG #: 18108 (6.5)

SYMPTOMS

If the year of the system date on a Windows NT computer is set between the years 2039 and 2079 and you try to create a new task in SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM), you will receive an unhandled access violation and SQL Enterprise Manager will be closed. You may also receive a Dr. Watson message "Sqlew.exe Exeption Access violation." However, SQL Server itself will still be running.

WORKAROUND

The only workaround at this time is to set the system date so that it does not fall between the years 2039 and 2079 when creating a task.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5.
