Last Day of the Month Reverts Back to the First Day of the Same Month

ID: Q193422

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

As the Date/Time utility attempts to change the date from the last day of the month to the first day of the following month, it displays the first day of the current month instead. For example, instead of displaying February 1, 2000, one day after the date was January 31, 2000, the Date/Time utility reports the date as January 1, 2000.


CAUSE

This problem occurs if the Date/Time utility in Control Panel is open after midnight on the last day of the month and the Month field is selected.
