Wrong year date and age in Birthday reminder

Post by VictorParkerPIM »

Vista Home Prem. ver. 3.54 Desktop Pro
Wrong date and age.
Date is correct in Contacts.
Program seems to be using (Repete Task, Expires Date )

1. Add Name in Contacts, enter birthday. (save)
2. Go to Month Schedule and edit birthday just entered and open the series.
3. Notice Task expires 9 years after birthday.
Some how the expires date causes the person to be 9 years older than should be.
I hope this helps solve the problem.

It would be nice if this error would be corrected. But unfortunately the RC3.7 still has the same problem and displays a wrong birth date.

In order for the birthdays to display correctly you need to re-create them with EPIM 3.54 or newer version. An additional fix will also be included in the next release of EPIM. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please try EPIM 3.7 RC2, we've implemented some changes with regards to this issue. Should be ok now.

Please do that with at least couple of birthdays and then see if it works for you.

i've done this with the next birthday ( 20.8 ) and wanted to be reminded today, and it still is wrong - 20.8.2019 - 9 years (it's my mothers birthday)

PS. if i clear the birthday-field, saving it, and entering it afterwards again, then the number of days to get informed before is already filled with "200"...

I've been trying to reproduce this error and haven't been able to till tonight. Started EPIM 3.7 RC2 and reminder came up for a birthday and it was as above. The birthday for this person in contacts had been deleted and re-entered.
