The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows, version 7.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you create an appointment and the date format is set to m/d/yy, Schedule+
only recognizes the last two digits of the year. For example, 1902 is changed to
2002, and 2999 is changed to 1999.

CAUSE
=====

This is by product design.

RESOLUTION
==========

Set the date format to display the century (such as m/d/yyyy).

In Windows 95
-------------

1. In Control Panel, double-click the Regional Settings icon.

2. Click Date.

3. In the Short Date Style box, type "m/d/yyyy" (without the quotation marks).

In Windows NT
