SYMPTOMS

When you create a new record that contains a date of January 1 in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, you receive the following error message:

Invalid Argument
Error code: 0x80040203

If the DevErrors value is set to On in the Web.config file, or if you have enabled the Platform tracing functionality, you also receive an error message that resembles the following error message:

Crm Exception: Message: GetDaylightChanges actual year: 2005,
MinValue.Year: 2006, MaxValue.Year: 9999, ErrorCode: -2147220989,
InnerException: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: GetDaylightChanges actual year: 2005,
MinValue.Year: 2006, MaxValue.Year: 9999

This problem also occurs if you open an existing record that contains a date of January 1 after you update from Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.
