SYMPTOMS
========

If you use the cover sheet option with Microsoft At Work PC Fax, the date may
not appear on the Date: line of a sent fax.

CAUSE
=====

The date of the sent fax does not appear on the Date: line of the cover sheet if
the sShortDate= line of the [Intl] section in the WIN.INI file is not present or
is invalid.

RESOLUTION
==========

In Control Panel, choose the International icon and choose OK. This adds the
sShortDate= line to the [Intl] section of the WIN.INI file. If the date still
does not appear on a sent fax, the WIN.INI file should be checked for possible
invalid or corrupted entries that would prevent Windows from reading the [Intl]
section properly.

Below is an example of a valid setting for [Intl] section of the WIN.INI file.

     [Intl]
     sLanguage=enu
     sCountry=United States
     iCountry=1
     iDate=0
     iTime=0
     iTLZero=0
     iCurrency=0
     iCurrDigits=2
     iNegCurr=0
     iLzero=1
     iDigits=2
     iMeasure=1
     s1159=AM
     s2359=PM
     sCurrency=$
     sThousand=,
     sDecimal=.
     sDate=/ 
     sTime=:
     sList=,
     sShortDate=M/d/yy
     sLongDate=dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy
