Description of how the product handles dates:
Storage. Microsoft Team Manager stores all dates in a 32-bit data structure in the form of days from January 1, 1984 and minutes since midnight. This circumvents the possibility that a date may be stored with a 2-digit year because the date and year are not stored, only the duration since January 1, 1984.
| |
Microsoft Team Manager schedules projects within a finite time period extending from January 1, 1984, to December 31, 2050. Team Manager does not allow any tasks outside these bounds or status reports from resources
|
Parsing on date entry. Microsoft Team Manager includes date entry points in which users may enter a date or a date-range. Team Manager allows and processes entries with 2-digit years. However, since Team Manager's calendar doesn't span an entire century, the product always interprets 2-digit year entries in the correct century.
2-digit shortcut handling:
Conversion of 2-digit shortcut assumes a date window of 1984 through 2050.
Common date usage errors:
The core application of Team Manager recognizes only dates within the 1984-2050 timeframe. Accordingly, any given date must either be in the 20th or 21st century resulting in unambiguous resolution of dates based on the 1984-2050 date window. For example, if you enter the date 1/1/01, Microsoft Project recognizes this as 1/1/2001.
Under some circumstances described in the Product Guide for the Visual Basic Development Environment, custom programming features of Visual Basic may improperly recognize a 2-digit year as being in the 21st century instead of the 20th century. If applied against Team Manager, the internal year boundaries in Team Manager (1984û2050) will prevail and the entry will be rejected.
In Team Manager, dates between 1/1/84 and 12/31/50 are displayed in all task related views or the Custom Fields "Date" and "Date Range" for both tasks and resources. The frequency of the status reports requests by manager will affect which day is shown as the last day to receive a status report in Work related views. Remaining Work, sent by a resource in a Status Report, for a task with a Deadline of 12/31/50 will not be displayed or considered for any further scheduling.
Resources cannot enter actuals for dates prior to 1/1/84 or past 12/31/50. If tasks have Remaining Work past 12/31/50 they will be displayed as such, but no scheduling or date entry actions is allowed past this date. Resources cannot send subsequent status reports for new tasks assigned with deadlines within the time frame 1984 - 2050 after sending a report on 12/31/50.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
In general, avoid testing in a production environment because we cannot predict side effects with other products. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.
