Works 2000 Calendar: Problem When You Change Date of Birthday or Anniversary (239160)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works Suite 2000

This article was previously published under Q239160

SYMPTOMS

If you change the date of a single occurrence of a recurring event (such as a birthday or an anniversary) in the Works 2000 Calendar, only the date of that single occurrence is changed.

You are not prompted to change the date of the entire series of recurring events.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue:
  1. On the Edit menu in the Works 2000 Calendar, click Birthdays. You receive a dialog box containing the following message:

    The Birthday for Name in your Address Book is different than the date in your Calendar. Which date is correct?

    Calendar date is correct: Calendar Date

    Address Book date is correct: Address Book Date

  2. Click the appropriate option, and then click Update Now. Works automatically updates the information in both the Works Calendar and the Windows Address Book, and you receive the following message:

    Microsoft Works successfully updated the Calendar with birthdays and anniversaries from your address book for the following: number events.

NOTE: You can only use this procedure if you integrated the Works 2000 Calendar with the Microsoft Windows Address Book before you changed the date of the occurrence in Works Calendar.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Works 2000.
