Hi

We are using ms-project 2000.

I'm working an a resources project files.

I wanted to set Monday 06 of september 2004 as a vacation
day.

Surprise !! The september 2004 calender show Monday 08.

I tried to find any bugs related to an error concerning
calendar date in Microsoft web site and cannot find any.

Any comments to resolves this problem will be appreciate.

Thank you

Are you sure it is 2004 and not 2003? It can be easy to find the wrong year.
What day/date does it show for today?

Are you absolutely certain you were looking at Sept of 2004?

Absolutely certain.

Even if I open the project with PRJ2003, the calendar still wrong. If i
create a new project using PRJ2003 the calendar is ok. It's weird

Hi,
I'm not sure, but this sounds a lot like the FAQ number 1 (! shows how often
it happens!) on
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
Faq 1. Strange dates in Gantt? Check the fiscal year.

Hi Regis

the "problem" has existed in all version of Project ... however from version
2000 onwards you can change the display of the years in the timescale by
unchecking Fiscal Year under format / timescale ...

but that said, the only thing that is "wrong" is the display of the year in
the timescale not the calendar ... if you have a look under tools / change
working time, the calendar should be correct (as for the start date in
project / project information etc).

Hope this helps
Cheers
JulieD

It's only a problem if one forgets the convention of how fiscal calendars
work. If the fiscal year begins 01 July, people tend to forget that fiscal
2004 begins on July 1st, 2003 by the ordinary civil calendar. MSP 2002/2003
does have a setting on the calendar options page that allows you to shift in
the opposite direction, with fiscal 2004 beginning 1st July 2004 on the
civil calendar, hence making June 2004 on the ordinary calendar June 2003 on
the fiscal calendar. I don't recall if that option was available in MSP
2000 or earlier or not, I don't think so but I might be mistaken.
