Article ID: 943924 - Last Review: December 13, 2007 - Revision: 1.1

Tomorrow's date is displayed when you set the default value in the "Date and Time" column to "Today's Date" in SharePoint Server 2007 or in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

SYMPTOMS

You add a new Date and Time column to a list or to a document library on a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site or on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site. When you set the default value of the column to Today's Date, tomorrow's date is displayed.

This behavior occurs when the system time is between 23:00 and 23:59 when you set the default value.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the default Date and Time value is counted every hour and then is rounded to next hour. Therefore, when you set the default value to Today's Date, the date advances if the system time is between 23:00 and 23:59.

STATUS

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.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
