Hi, Each time I try to enter a birthday date in the contact, it is rewriten. Example : when I enter 12/06/1942, it turns to 12/06/39 The range of date concerned goes from 1940 to 1950.
In addition, when it syncs with iSync, the is a conflict between AddressBook and Entourage, that can only be solved by overwriting the AdressBook data with Entourage's.
Both problems made me lost 70% of my birthday information...
Do you have any clue ?
Thank you in advance j f f a r n y @ g m a i l . c o m

I've seen this but the cutoff date was 1920. I put the correct info into my Notes field. I have reported this myself, but I highly suggest everyone send in feedback on this so it gets fixed.

Your problem sounds similar to what I posted about the confusion with date/time settings.
I've been able to reproduce your problem following a similar method.
This may help you...
1. Quit Entourage.
2. Go to Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> International --> Formats tab.
If your Region says "Custom" then your date formats have been altered to display a two-digit date instead of a four-digit date. The two-digit date is confusing Entourage.
4. Make note of your various date formats and then select your country from the Region drop-down menu. This should set the year in most of the formats to four digits.
5. Quit System Preferences and launch Entourage to test if this makes a difference.
If this solves your problem then please post back. We'll report this as a bug to Microsoft.

Quit Entourage and return to the International pane and click the Customize... button again for Dates and check the field below the drop-down menu where you can customize the format. For Medium, Long and Full formats do you see "2008" for all? If any of these display "08" format then change them to "2008" format.
Launch Entourage again and see if you can reproduce the problem.
Also, what Region are you selecting under the Formats tab of the International pane?

Can I take it that your problem is fixed? :-)
Can you tell what in particular was causing the problem so we can pass this on to Microsoft? The more details we can provide them the easier for them to quickly fix.
