Date reverts to current year

L

Lisa Courte

Hi all,
I created a form with a text form field formated as Date MMMM yy. When
I enter a date like 12.12.2005 it is displayed December 05. That is
correct. When I tab to the next field and later tab back the date
field and then tab out of that field the year reverts to the current
year and is displayed December 04. This occurs only with dates later
than the year 2000 - earlier years remain correctly.
I could not find a solution in a German Newsgroup so I try it here.
Does anyone know a solution?
(WD 2000/Windows 2000)

Thanking you in advance.

This may be a bug in the two-digit year. If you use MMMM yyyy the
issue doesn't occur. I know that may not be what you are looking for
but I can reproduce it on my end and that's the only solution I can
find right now...
