The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Money version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
Microsoft Money will return the wrong year in the Date column when the
incorrect date range is specified on the system. The valid date range
for Money 1.0 is 1/1/48 - 12/31/2075. For example, if today's date is
11/18/93 but the system date is set as 11-18-2093, Money will return
the date 11/18/65.
 
NOTE: If you check the date in the Time/Date option in Control
Panel, it appears to return the correct date. However, the Time/Date option
only displays the last two digits of the year. To check the
system date, choose the International option in the Control Panel, or type
"date" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To set the correct date in Windows:
 
1. In the Control Panel window, choose the Time/Date icon.
 
2. Set the correct month/day/year and choose OK.
 
It might be necessary to reset the date from MS-DOS. If so, do the
following:
 
1. From the Main group, choose the MS-DOS Prompt icon.
 
2. At the MS-DOS prompt, type "date" (without the quotation marks) and
   press ENTER on your keyboard.
 
3. Enter the current date, including the year, using the mm-dd-year
   format (for example, 11-18-1993). Press ENTER on your keyboard.
 
4. Type exit to return to Windows.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
In addition to the wrong date display, the incorrect system date will
also affect future transactions, reports, budgets, and the Loan
Calculator report.
