  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The IEAK allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Outlook Express  4.01   (Polish)

Product Summary
Product: Outlook Express Version: 4.01 Category:Compliant*
Language: Polish OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: 01 Dec 1997
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1950 - 31 Dec 2049
Prerequisites: Outlook Express 4.01 Service Pack-1 + Outlook Express Year 2000 Update OR Outlook Express Service Pack 2 + Outlook Express Year 2000 Update
Product Dependencies: Windows 95, or Windows NT 4 Service Pack 3
Clock Dependencies: Operating System Clock
Last Updated: 29 Sep 1999
Product Details

Release Date: September 1997, December 1997

This document pertains to Outlook Express version 4.01. Outlook Express 4.0 has date related issues that are resolved by installing Outlook Express 4.01 Service Pack 1 or Service pack Internet Explorer download area in addition to the updates recommended below.

How the product handles dates:

Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format.

Product Issues:

Outlook Express (OE) 4.01 (SP1 or SP2) receives an IMAP mail message or a News message with a 2-digit year as the sent date, the date can be misinterpreted under certain conditions.  If the 2-digit year is anything other than "99", OE will assume the century value is the same as the current century.  If the current year is 2000, and a 2-digit date is received as "97", then the year will be interpreted as 2097.  However, there is one special case when different logic is applied.  If the 2-digit year 99 is received and the current year is a multiple of 100 (e.g. 2000), the year will be interpreted as the current year plus 98 (e.g. 2098). 

For More information, please review Knowledge Base Articles Q234680 or Q234681.

Recommendations:

(1.) Update Outlook Express 4.01 to either Outlook Express Service Pack 1 or Outlook Express Service Pack 2. (2.) Apply the appropriate version of the Outlook Express year 2000 update. The software update is found here.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP or POP3 and SMTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. While the Outlook Express team has tested operation with some popular servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in Outlook Express that are not yet valid, Outlook Express displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format.

Product Issues:

Outlook Express (OE) 4.01 (SP1 or SP2) receives an IMAP mail message or a News message with a 2-digit year as the sent date, the date can be misinterpreted under certain conditions.  If the 2-digit year is anything other than "99", OE will assume the century value is the same as the current century.  If the current year is 2000, and a 2-digit date is received as "97", then the year will be interpreted as 2097.  However, there is one special case when different logic is applied.  If the 2-digit year 99 is received and the current year is a multiple of 100 (e.g. 2000), the year will be interpreted as the current year plus 98 (e.g. 2098). 

For More information, please review Knowledge Base Articles Q234680 or Q234681.

Recommendations:

(1.) Update Outlook Express 4.01 to either Outlook Express Service Pack 1 or Outlook Express Service Pack 2. (2.) Apply the appropriate version of the Outlook Express year 2000 update. The software update is found here.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP or POP3 and SMTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. While the Outlook Express team has tested operation with some popular servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in Outlook Express that are not yet valid, Outlook Express displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Product Details

 

How the product handles dates:

Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000 compliant.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP, POP3, SMTP or HTTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. Outlook Express has been tested with popular e-mail servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in Outlook Express that are not yet valid, Outlook Express displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your e-mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Outlook Express  5.0   (Chinese - Traditional)

Product Summary
Product: Outlook Express Version: 5.0 Category:Compliant
Language: Chinese - Traditional OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: N/A
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1900 - 31 Dec 2035
Prerequisites: None
Product Dependencies: Windows 95 or higher, Windows NT Service Pack 3 or higher
Clock Dependencies: System Clock, DCOM, COMCTL, OLEAUT32
Last Updated: 29 Sep 1999
Product Details

 

How the product handles dates:

Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000 compliant.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP, POP3, SMTP or HTTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. Outlook Express has been tested with popular e-mail servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in Outlook Express that are not yet valid, Outlook Express displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your e-mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Product Issues: (software update is not part of Internet Explorer 5.0)

If Outlook Express (OE) 5.0 receives an IMAP mail message or a News message with a 2-digit year as the sent date, the date can be misinterpreted under certain conditions.  If the 2-digit year is anything other than '99', OE will assume the century value is the same as the current century.  If the current year is 2000, and a 2-digit date is received as '97', then the year will be interpreted as 2097.  However, there is one special case when different logic is applied.  If the 2-digit year "99" is received and the current year is a multiple of 100 (e.g. 2000), the year will be interpreted as the current year plus 98 (e.g. 2098).

For More information, please review Knowledge Base Articles Q237823 or Q237824

A software update is available for this issue. (There is a separate update if you are running Outlook Express 4.01.) The software update is found here.

Product Summary
Product: Outlook Express Version: 5.0 Category:Compliant
Language: English OS: HP-UNIX Release Date: 18 Mar 1999
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1970 - 31 Dec 2137
Prerequisites: None
Product Dependencies: Hewlett-Packard UX 10.2 or 11.0
Clock Dependencies: System Clock
Last Updated: 29 Sep 1999
Product Details

How the product handles dates:

Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. When making operating system calls, dates are converted to and from the UNIX time_t format. The time_t format is a 32-bit value representing the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00 UTC.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Microsoft Internet Explorer for HP-UX ("IE") interprets dates entered with a 2-digit shortcut to mean the following:

1/1/00 through 12/31/79 are interpreted as 1/1/2000 through 12/31/2079

1/1/80 through 12/31/99 are interpreted as 1/1/1980 through 12/31/1999

Some web sites using older web servers may use HTTP/1.0 headers that have a 2-digit date representation for the year. Web authors may also use a 2-digit year representation for expiration date of cookie data.

Microsoft Outlook Express for HP-UX ("OE") does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.

OE inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format.

OE will assume that 50 – 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 – 49 are 2000 to 2049

Common date usage errors:

Independent of IE’s handling of dates, web page HTML content, JSCRIPT, Java applets, server scripts, or controls may have potential Year 2000 issues.

The JSCRIPT method .getYear() returns a 2-digit string for years within the operational range up to 1999. The method returns a 4-digit string for years within the operational range from 2000. Web authors can use the method .getFullYear(), which returns 4-digit dates.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of web sites or web-based applications for the year 2000 need to have IE, the web server, and if applicable, proxy server, transition to and operate in the year 2000 under testing. For example, depending on your web and proxy server, it may use a 2-digit year in its HTTP/1.0 headers.

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have OE and the mail server (IMAP or POP3 and SMTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers.

While the IE and OE teams have tested operation with some popular mail servers, proxy servers & web servers, verification of IE & OE should include testing of the below items within your computing environment.

  • Authentication: If using a secured site and/or SSL connections, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation. Note: If testing certificates in IE that are not yet valid, IE displays a message that they are expired. If using SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in OE that are not yet valid, OE displays a message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.

Product Summary
Product: Outlook Express Version: 5.0 Category:Compliant
Language: English OS: Mac Release Date: 18 Oct 1999
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1904 - 01 Jan 2040
Prerequisites: None
Product Dependencies: Macintosh Operating System 8.1 and higher
Clock Dependencies: Operating System Clock
Last Updated: 03 Nov 1999
Product Details

How the product handles dates:

Outlook Express stores dates in the Macintosh DateTime format which is a 32 unsigned integer that denotes the number of seconds since January 1, 1904.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a 2-digit year format.

When Outlook Express receives a message from an e-mail client or newsreader with a date format that uses a 2-digit year, it will assume that 50 – 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 – 49 are 2000 to 2049.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP or POP3 and SMTP) transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. While the Outlook Express team has tested operation with popular servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.

Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.

In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Product Summary
Product: Outlook Express Version: 5.0 Category:Compliant
Language: English OS: Sun Solaris-UNIX Release Date: 18 Mar 1999
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1970 - 31 Dec 2137
Prerequisites: None
Product Dependencies: Sun Solaris 2.5, 2.5.1, 2.6 or 2.7 (SPARC versions)
Clock Dependencies: System Clock
Last Updated: 29 Sep 1999
Product Details

How the product handles dates:

Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. When making operating system calls, dates are converted to and from the UNIX time_t format. The time_t format is a 32-bit value representing the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00 UTC.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Microsoft Internet Explorer for Solaris ("IE") interprets dates entered with a 2-digit shortcut to mean the following:

1/1/00 through 12/31/79 are interpreted as 1/1/2000 through 12/31/2079

1/1/80 through 12/31/99 are interpreted as 1/1/1980 through 12/31/1999

Some web sites using older web servers may use HTTP/1.0 headers that have a 2-digit date representation for the year. Web authors may also use a 2-digit year representation for expiration date of cookie data.

Microsoft Outlook Express for Solaris ("OE") does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.

OE inter-operates with other email clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format.

OE will assume that 50 – 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 – 49 are 2000 to 2049

Common date usage errors:

Independent of IE’s handling of dates, web page HTML content, JSCRIPT, Java applets, server scripts, or controls may have potential Year 2000 issues.

The JSCRIPT method .getYear() returns a 2-digit string for years within the operational range up to 1999. The method returns a 4-digit string for years within the operational range from 2000. Web authors can use the method .getFullYear(), which returns 4-digit dates.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of web sites or web-based applications for the year 2000 need to have IE, the web server, and if applicable, proxy server, transition to and operate in the year 2000 under testing. For example, depending on your web and proxy server, it may use a 2-digit year in its HTTP/1.0 headers.

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have OE and the mail server (IMAP or POP3 and SMTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers.

While the IE and OE teams have tested operation with some popular mail servers, proxy servers & web servers, verification of IE & OE should include testing of the below items within your computing environment.

  • Authentication: If using a secured site and/or SSL connections, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation. Note: If testing certificates in IE that are not yet valid, IE displays a message that they are expired. If usin SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in OE that are not yet valid, OE displays a message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • File Download: Verify proper download of any files referred to by your site.
  • Search: Verify that search bar works for your preferred search provider.
  • History: IE organizes sites you have recently visited by "today", "yesterday", and previous weeks.
  • Auto-configuration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

Outlook Express  5.0   (Hungarian)

Product Summary
Product: Outlook Express Version: 5.0 Category:Compliant
Language: Hungarian OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: N/A
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1900 - 31 Dec 2035
Prerequisites: None
Product Dependencies: Windows 95 or higher, Windows NT Service Pack 3 or higher
Clock Dependencies: System Clock, DCOM, COMCTL, OLEAUT32

Product Details

 

How the product handles dates:

Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000 compliant.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP, POP3, SMTP or HTTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. Outlook Express has been tested with popular e-mail servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in Outlook Express that are not yet valid, Outlook Express displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your e-mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000 compliant.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP, POP3, SMTP or HTTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. Outlook Express has been tested with popular e-mail servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in Outlook Express that are not yet valid, Outlook Express displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your e-mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.

Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000 compliant.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP, POP3, SMTP or HTTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. Outlook Express has been tested with popular e-mail servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

  • Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
  • S/MIME: Digitally signed messages include a signature generated by a certificate with an expiration date. Verify that messages show up properly as having an expired certificate when the current date is out of the bounds of the valid and expired dates for the certificate. Note when testing certificates in Outlook Express that are not yet valid, Outlook Express displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
  • Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
  • Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
  • Autoconfiguration: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.

In addition, contact your e-mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.

Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Product Details

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PhotoDraw 2000 version 1.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

Operational Range for Data: System dependent

How the product handles dates:

PhotoDraw 1.0 is an imaging program that does not handle or parse dates other than those that the operating system provides by supplying Created, Modified, and Accessed dates on the General tab of the Properties dialog box (File menu). These dates are in 4-digit-year formats. Files saved beyond the year 2000 can be found by using a date search in the Windows Find feature.

The program also supports Date Completed and Recorded Date entries on the Custom tab of the Properties dialog box. Note that a Windows NT 4.0 date issue can interfere with the entry of dates containing 2-digit years (such as 02/01/00), however a patch can be downloaded to resolve this. See Knowledge Base article Q183125 to download this patch.

The trial release of PhotoDraw 2000 contains expiration date code that supports the industry-standard test periods of December 15, 1999, through March 15, 2000 and December 15, 2000, through March 15, 2001. Otherwise, the program expires 30 days after it is first used.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

PhotoDraw does not accept date inputs except in common Office dialogs as described in the Microsoft Office product guide.

Common date usage errors: Not applicable.

Testing guidelines and recommendations: Not applicable.

PhotoDraw 2000 uses a number of Microsoft Office 2000 shared files for the implementation of dialogs and toolbars, task automation, online help, installation, graphics, file find and file I/O. For additional information that is appropriate for PhotoDraw 2000, please refer either to the document for the particular Office version that this application came with, or, in the case of a standalone product, to any version 2000 Microsoft Office document.

These dates are in 4-digit-year formats. Files saved beyond the year 2000 can be found by using a date search in the Windows Find feature.

The program also supports Date Completed and Recorded Date entries on the Custom tab of the Properties dialog box. Note that a Windows NT 4.0 date issue can interfere with the entry of dates containing 2-digit years (such as 02/01/00), however a patch can be downloaded to resolve this. See Knowledge Base article Q183125 to download this patch.

The trial release of PhotoDraw 2000 contains expiration date code that supports the industry-standard test periods of December 15, 1999, through March 15, 2000 and December 15, 2000, through March 15, 2001. Otherwise, the program expires 30 days after it is first used.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

PhotoDraw does not accept date inputs except in common Office dialogs as described in the Microsoft Office product guide.

Common date usage errors: Not applicable.

Testing guidelines and recommendations: Not applicable.

PhotoDraw 2000 uses a number of Microsoft Office 2000 shared files for the implementation of dialogs and toolbars, task automation, online help, installation, graphics, file find and file I/O. For additional information that is appropriate for PhotoDraw 2000, please refer either to the document for the particular Office version that this application came with, or, in the case of a standalone product, to any version 2000 Microsoft Office document.

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PhotoDraw 2000 version 2.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

How the product handles dates:

PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2 is an imaging program that does not handle or parse dates other than those that the operating system provides by supplying Created, Modified, and Accessed dates on the General tab of the Properties dialog box (File menu). These dates are in 4-digit-year formats. Files saved beyond the year 2000 can be found by using a date search in the Windows Find feature.

The program also supports Date Completed and Recorded Date entries on the Custom tab of the Properties dialog box. Note that a Windows NT 4.0 date issue can interfere with the entry of dates containing 2-digit years (such as 02/02/00), however a software update can be downloaded to resolve this. See Knowledge Base article Q183125 to download this software update.

The trial release of PhotoDraw 2000 contains expiration date code that supports the industry-standard test periods of December 15, 1999, through March 15, 2000 and December 15, 2000, through March 15, 2001. Otherwise, the program expires 30 days after it is first used.

In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PhotoDraw 2000 version 2.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

How the product handles dates:

PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2 is an imaging program that does not handle or parse dates other than those that the operating system provides by supplying Created, Modified, and Accessed dates on the General tab of the Properties dialog box (File menu). These dates are in 4-digit-year formats. Files saved beyond the year 2000 can be found by using a date search in the Windows Find feature.

The program also supports Date Completed and Recorded Date entries on the Custom tab of the Properties dialog box. Note that a Windows NT 4.0 date issue can interfere with the entry of dates containing 2-digit years (such as 02/02/00), however a software update can be downloaded to resolve this. See Knowledge Base article Q183125 to download this software update.

The trial release of PhotoDraw 2000 contains expiration date code that supports the industry-standard test periods of December 15, 1999, through March 15, 2000 and December 15, 2000, through March 15, 2001. Otherwise, the program expires 30 days after it is first used.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

PhotoDraw does not accept date inputs except in common Office dialogs as described in the Microsoft Office product guide.

PhotoDraw 2000 uses a number of Microsoft Office 2000 shared files for the implementation of dialogs and toolbars, task automation, online help, installation, graphics, file find and file I/O. For additional information that is appropriate for PhotoDraw 2000, please refer either to the document for the particular Office version that this application came with, or, in the case of a standalone product, to any version 2000 Microsoft Office document.


Legend of Symbols:
*The product is compliant. User action is recommended, which may include loading a software update or assessing shared technology.
#The product is compliant with an acceptable deviation from Microsoft's standard of compliance. An acceptable deviation does not affect the core functionality, data integrity, stability or reliability of the product.
+The product is compliant . Software updates are pending. Future maintenance actions will be recommended shortly.
Note: Compliance ratings given for each product assume that all recommended actions have been taken.
