SYMPTOMS
========

When configuring the New Product date in the Software Metering section of
Systems Management Server (SMS) version 2.0, the invalid date of 2/30/97 is
entered and the "2" changes to a random character like the "<7F>". This will remain
until you leave the edit box at which time the control will return to a valid
date format. This happens when the current date is beyond 28 or a date is typed
that is beyond 28 and then a 2 is typed into the month field.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0.

4. Move cursor to the Month field and type 2.
