Symptom
If you try to set a calendar event using an abbreviated name for March, the date will be rejected and erased. Examples of abbreviated names for March include "Maa" (Dutch and Belgian) and "Mar" (Italian and Swiss Italian).
Note: This issue occurs any time you schedule an event for March, whether or not it is March when you attempt to schedule the event.
Note: Microsoft Entourage 2001 does not use abbreviated month names by default, so it is only affected if you manually type an abbreviated name.
Solution
For Microsoft Entourage
Instead of creating new events with the toolbar or menu items, follow these steps:
1. Go to the month of March on the calendar.
2. Double-click the calendar date of the event.
3. Fill in all of the necessary information for the event.
Note: Be sure not to modify the date fields.
