Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customersÆ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Office 95 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.
If you have Schedule+ 95 (7.0x) that was installed as part of Office 95, an Office 95 Year 2000 patch is now available that corrects all known Year 2000 related issues in the applications used in Office 95. For more detailed information and to download this patch please go to http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/articles/O95y2kfactsheet.htm.
If you have Schedule+ 7.0x that was not installed as part of Office 95, a similar update is available from Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q197195.
Description of how the product handles dates:
Storage. All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data. Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.
2-digit shortcut handling:
When the system clock's short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 2-digit entries. All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock's short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 4-digit entries. Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.
For example, the user sets the system's short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application's user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.
The update from the Office 95 Year 2000 patch or the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q197195 changes the 2-digit shortcut behavior to the expected results, parsing 2-digit years using the range 1980-2079.
Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.
Common date usage errors:
Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.
