SYMPTOMS
When you export data to your Timex Data Link watch, some date range text boxes in the Outlook Import and Export Wizard display the year as 100. When you step through the wizard, you receive several type mismatch errors. Once the transfer of data is completed, the incorrect date appears as '00 on your watch.
If you select Current time and time zone information in the wizard, the exported day of the week is off by one day.
WORKAROUND
Manually change the date from 100 to 2000.
To correct the day of the week, press the Time Set button on the watch to recalibrate the current settings.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
