I have Win 7 Home Premium x64 and WLMail. When editing my contact, I tried to
use a pop down calendar in the Birthday entry area. I opened calendar and
clicked Feb 3, 2010, however the date on the line appeared as March 2... July
11 transferred into Nov 7, etc. Entering manually 03/02/xxxx produces correct
entry 03 Feb xx, manual entry of 11/07/xxxx results in the correct 11 Jul xx,
etc. Entering birthdate on Contacts.com do not change rntry on my desktop.
May someone please tell me what's the correct way to enter the birthday
info? Also, what is the easy way to get to a drop down calendar for the years
past?

Addendum to the previous post.
As I mentioned it, a manual entry shows a correct date UNTIL I click on
Save. After Save, the date in the Preview area gets back to a wrong one.
And, of course, if I open this contact for edit, the wrong date is there...
Do you follow me?

In your Win 7 setup, what is your default date format... you should be able
to locate this in your Regional Options settings.
For example my Short Date format is: M/d/yyyy
And my Long Date format is: dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy

Sounds like you have the wrong date format selected (7/11 becomes 11/7,
2/3 becomes 3/2, etc.).
Different countries use different date formats. Go to Control Panel, Region
and Language, then choose the appropriate date format.

Gary and Magnus,
thanks for your suggestions. As a matter of fact, my settings were
dd/mm/yyyy, but, as I said before, it didn't work... After many tries, I
found that the only format accepted in the birthday date is mm/dd/yyyy. To
bad... For a number of reasons, I'd prefer the dd/mm/yyyy style...
Thanks again for your input.

Interesting. Apparently the pop-up calendar ignores the system setting for
date format, instead deciding that since you are in the U.S., you must use the
standard U.S. format (mm/dd/yyyy).

He's quite right.
The dd/mm/yyyy style is much more reasonable.

The dd/mm/yyyy convention is more logical, and more widely used in the
rest of the world.. The fact remains, though, that mm/dd/yyyy is the standard
in the U.S.

No question about the US Standard. But then why Windows 7 offers several
different options that do not work? Looks to me that there might be a glitch
somewhere in the WLM. Also, the drop down calendar open the current year and
month, naturally. But what do you do if today you need April 1933? Is there
a quick way to get past several decades?

I don't know, I've never used the popup calendar for entering birth dates.
Seems like an unnecessary gimmick to me. I always enter the date manually.
