The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you change routing information for an external postoffice with Microsoft
Mail for PC Networks Administration program (ADMIN.EXE) version 3.2.13 and
earlier, ADMIN.EXE does not report a failure to update the .XTN file if the .XTN
file is locked open by another process, such as EXTERNAL.EXE.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions earlier than 3.2.13 of
ADMIN.EXE. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.


Additional query words: 3.20 ADMIN.EXE XTN
