All events I create in Entourage 2008, no matter the date I specifiy, change to Friday 9 April 2011, when saved. How do I fix this? Anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I haven't come across that one before!

Are you using an English Language system and Office intallation? Some of
these wierd date issues are related to non-english set ups.

if that's not your case, it may be worth rebuilding the database.

To rebuild the database, start up Entourage while keeping the Option key
pressed - keep it pressed until you see the rebuild screen, then follow
the instructions.

I tried the usual fix to no avail: ditch entourage preferences and restart the program.

But the fact that it was just the date going wonky got me thinking. Clicking show me today brought me to the right place, but . . . So I verified all time zone and date settings in System Preferencesfor both the main panel and the international. made no changes, just double-checked that they were on US time/format. Relaunched the program and it all worked fine. Maybe it just needed the reassurance?

But you didn't answer my questions or try my suggestion?

Are you using a localisation other than english for Office or the OS?

Have you tried a rebuild?
