Error message when you enter February 29 in the "Birthday" field in SharePoint Server 2007: "The date you have entered is not in a valid format"
You visit the
View User Profiles Web page in the SharePoint Shared Services Administration Web site in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. You enter
February 29 in the
Birthday field, and then you click
Save and Close. When you do this, you receive the following error message:
The date you have entered is not in a valid format, or it is outside of the valid range of dates. Reenter a valid date in the format May 03
This behavior occurs because SharePoint Server 2007 does not support February 29 as a birthday value.
This is because most users who have birthdays that occur on February 29 select February 28 or March 1 as their annual birthday. Additionally, birthdays that occur on February 29 do not work correctly in non-Gregorian calendars.
To work around this behavior, you must enter February 28 or March 1 as the birthday value.
This behavior is by design.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
