SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You create a discussion board in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003. You run a custom program that adds discussion items to the discussion board programmatically. The custom program also configures the date and time that appear in the Modified column for the discussion items.

However, after you run the custom program, the Modified column for the discussion items shows the current date and time instead of the date and time that you configured in the custom program.



CAUSE
This issue occurs when the discussion board is located in a subarea of the portal site. For example, you do not experience this issue when the discussion board is located in the Home area of the portal site or in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Web site.
