Hello listers,
I just encountered an odd thing when trying to enter a birthday for a contact: I’m using the standard date notation for Belgium (23-03-1973) and Entourage automatically converted this to “vri, 23 maa 1973”, which is correct.
Also, the age in the next field was calculated correctly as being “27”.
The funny thing is, the astrology sign wasn’t calculated automatically. This is funny because it used to work...
Now I tried to ad this birthday to the calendar and got the following error message: “the date is not in an understandable format”.
Anybody know what’s wrong here? Do I have to do a complex rebuild AGAIN? I had a few crashes recently (all related to MS Word of MS Excel by the way).
I'd suggest checking your date & Time Control panel. It sounds to me as if you used to have it set correctly as you like it, but that it has since been changed. Resetting your PRAM can do that, for example. but I fear that the problem might be this:
OS 9.1 has removed "Flemish" as a standard Date & Time setting for the US version at any rate, so something might have changed even in your International version. (Both Dutch and French are still there.) Don't ask me why. have you upgraded to OS 9.1 recently? What version of Entourage do you have? Perhaps you'll need to get a localized version now.
