XCLN: Details Corrupt When Using Spanish Client

  - Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, versions 4.0 and 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to view address book detail information, secondary property pages are not readable. This occurs when viewing the address lists on a Microsoft Mail postoffice using the Spanish language Exchange Windows 95 client.

CAUSE

When a Microsoft Mail postoffice is installed for the Spanish language clients, Spanish-specific TPL files are installed in the TPL subdirectory. The Spanish-specific TPL files listed below have improper values for the Alias and Nombre fields. These TPL files incorrectly specify lengths of 31 when it should be a value of 30.

   SPACOU00.TPL     SPAALIAS.TPL     SPACOU02.TPL       SPACOU04.TPL

WORKAROUND

A self-extracting zip file has been created that includes replacements for the affected files. The filename is Tplspan.exe. Expand this file into the TPL subdirectory and run the Replace.bat file to rename the original files and substitute the corrected files.

The following corrections have been made in the TPL files indicated:

SPACOU00.TPL

     Alias:~9~31~A~~             changed to        Alias:~9~30~A~~
     Nombre:~9~31~A~~            changed to        Nombre:~9~30~A~~

     Nombre:~7~31~A~~            changed to        Nombre:~7~30~A~~

     Alias:~9~31~ULNP~~          changed to        Alias:~9~30~ULNP~~

     Alias:~9~31~ULNP~~          changed to        Alias:~9~30~ULNP~~

STATUS
