Entourage 08 Tasks

[barnettebw]

Whenever attempting to create tasks in Entourage 08, the app attempts to set start and due dates in 1970. I've tried to change the dates, but it will not let me, and when I save the task, it says, "You're trying to enter a date in the past, are you sure you want to continue?"

Is anyone else having this problem, and what can I do about it?

Thanks

"The 1970 issue is related to your date format settings. Entourage 2008
doesn't support non standard format well. You may want to change to the
standard format such as "United States" or "United States (computer )" or
"Japanese" that comes with the OS if you don't mind. I tried changing the
short form from 080105 to 08/01/05 and Entourage works well with it."

In essence, don't try to customize the date format in the International
System Preferences Pane.

Note: this has not worked for everyone.
