SYMPTOMS

When you run the Japanese version of Microsoft Outlook, the calendar type may change to the Japanese Emperor Era type.

Outlook uses the GetLocaleInfo and SetLocaleInfo functions to calculate using Japanese Emperor Era in the calendar. However, because of a timing problem with the functions, Outlook cannot revert to the original calendar type correctly.
