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.
