The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.2, 3.2a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

While you run the Administration program (ADMIN.EXE) for versions 3.2 and 3.2a
of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, you may get the following error:

  Notice XXX - Error File not Accessible Check Server Connection

where XXX represents a valid error number based upon the action that was
attempted.

For example, if you were attempting to add a duplicate user, you would see the
following error message:

  Notice 21 - Error file not accessible check Server connection.

Rather than the error:

  Notice 21 - Name already defined as a user mailbox.

RESOLUTION
==========

This problem is caused by the following file being corrupt or missing. It is
located in the MAILDATA\GLB subdirectory.
