SYMPTOMS

If you use the Timex Data Link Watch Wizard in Microsoft Outlook 97 to export an exact number of days of tasks, you may receive the following error message:
Condition is not valid.
When you click OK, the above error displays a second time and then the wizard proceeds without exporting your tasks.

RESOLUTION

You can work around this problem by choosing to export all active tasks instead of an exact number of days of tasks.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 97 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
