Problem entering a birthday date

[Andrew_Hobson]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC
Email Client: pop

I use the Swiss French version of Entourage.
In the personnal data of a contact, if I enter the date: mai 10th, 1940, Entourage changes the date to mai 10th, 1939 and doesn't calculate the age of the contact.
This problem also happens on MacOS 10.5 and on an Intel Mac.
What is wrong, is there something I must do?
Thanks for the help.

This sounds like a known issue. Have a look at this blog post of mine
from a few months ago:

"Date bug in Entourage 2008 causes birthday information loss"

Hope this helps!
