"Unable to obtain the information requested" when updating task (89117)

The following error occur when trying to update task via stat web. One thing to note, this user uses French version of IE 8 (8.0.6001.18702CO) and the month Feb shows up as fevr (with the special character over the "e") I am not able to replicate this locally (IE english) so thinking this may be the issue

"Unable to obtain the information requested"

The problem here is that the browser, running in french, is converting the database dates to French. Stat doesn't understand French, so it chokes.

WORKAROUND:

1. Go to Tools | internet Options and click on Languages

2. Add English to the available languages. When accessing Stat, move English to the top of the language list. If Stat is already open when you do this, then you need to refresh the page so it's displayed in English, not French.

STATUS:

Waiting for fix in a future release of Stat
