Outlook 2002 SP3 -> Tasks -> Custom Filter -> Advanced - ignores condition/value "between"/"last yea

[pluto]

I just have realized, that in Outlook 2002 SP3 (10.5709.6714) we have
issues with Custom Task views/filters and conditions/values.

If we create the condition/value "between"/"last year and next
friday", after applying the view, the value will appear in a date/time
format rather then a string format ("last year and next friday").
Besides, the value will not be adapted dynamically by the time.

Here's an example, this weeks thursday it should appear as

("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/81040040"

= '27.01.2004 00:00' AND

"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/81040040"
<= '04.02.2005 00:00')

dynamically adapted by time, it should appear next thursday as

("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/81040040"

= '03.02.2004 00:00' AND

"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/81040040"
<= '11.02.2005 00:00').

All these features are working as expected in Outlook 2003 SP1.

You can test that by setting the view/value/condition by closing
Outlook, adjusting the system date/time to 1 week later, restating
outlook and verify the view/value/condition. In Outlook 2002 SP3 you
should see now something like "between" 27.01.2004 00:00 and
04.02.2005 00:00. In Outlook 2003 SP1 you'll get "last year and next
friday" which is finally adapted dynamically to the calendar week.

Has anyone seen this behaviour in the past or is there a solution in
palce?

Cheers...

there are a number of strings which have the same result. I fixed it in some
cases by rewording the strings - I don't recall what I used because it's
been ages since I used 2002.
