"Unable to interpret Time or Date" creating new appointment

I have a user running notes client 7.0.2, but his mail database is located on a 5.0.11 Domino Server.He works locally on his mail database replica and replicates with the server on a scheduled basis.

Locally, when he creates a new appointment and tries to enter date or time, he gets the message “Unable to interpret Time or Date”. I refreshed and replaced the mail database design but it didn’t fix the problem. The mail template is inotes5.

I searched through the Knowledge base and in the forum but could not find the same problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jean-Marc,

P.S. The user is running notes client 7.0.2 because he experienced the problem with a 5.0.11 configuration and we told to ourselves that upgrading the client code could fix the issue.

Would suggest that the client PC is running a different DAte-time format to the server. For example the client could be in US date-time format (mm/dd/yyyy), whilst the server is in dd/mm/yyyy format
