SYMPTOMS
If you create a Microsoft Outlook 97 form that contains an empty user defined Date/Time field, the field prints and appears in Print Preview with the date, 1/1/4501.



RESOLUTION
To prevent the date 1/1/4501 from printing, you must enter a valid date in the user-defined field.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 97 for Windows. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Outlook 97 version 8.02 for Windows.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start Outlook.
 * 2) On the File menu, point to New and click Mail Message to open a new mail message.
 * 3) On Tools menu, click Design Outlook Form.
 * 4) On the Field Chooser, click New.
 * 5) In the Name box, type User Date Field. In the Type list, click to select Date/Time and click OK.
 * 6) Drag the User Date Field to the message form. You may need to resize existing form controls to make room for the new field.
 * 7) On the Tools menu, click Design Outlook Form to exit the form design mode. The User Date Field should show the value of None.
 * 8) On the File menu, click Print or Print Preview.

The User Date field prints and previews with the value 1/1/4501.
