Article: Q193422
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): WinNT:3.51
Operating System(s):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS
========

As the Date/Time utility attempts to change the date from the last day of the
month to the first day of the following month, it displays the first day of the
current month instead. For example, instead of displaying February 1, 2000, one
day after the date was January 31, 2000, the Date/Time utility reports the date
as January 1, 2000.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs if the Date/Time utility in Control Panel is open after
midnight on the last day of the month and the Month field is selected.
