SYMPTOMS

If you are running Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Netscape Communicator 4.04 or greater and you create a new meeting or appointment in OWA with an invalid start date (for example, September 31), you receive an error message. When you click OK, the error message is displayed again. An infinite loop results.
