Microsoft Entourage newsgroup poster Jean Frédéric raised this question:

> Each time I try to enter a birthday date in the contact, it is

> 
> Example: when I enter 12/06/1942, it turns to 12/06/39 The range of date
> concerned goes from 1940 to 1950.
> 
> In addition, when it syncs with iSync, there is a conflict between
> Address Book and Entourage that can only be solved by overwriting the
> Address Book data with Entourage's.
> 
> Both problems made me lose 70% of my birthday information...
> 
> Do you have any clue?
