• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If the International section [Intl] of the Win.ini file is missing or lacks some entries, you may receive one or more of the following error messages when compiling or loading a form:

   "Invalid outside procedure"
   "Expected end of Statement"

Some error messages that appear in the design environment are "Invalid character" and "Not valid in a procedure or module.

There are general protection faults (GPFs) in Vba2.dll at various times.

RESOLUTION

To resolve the problem:

• Ensure that the Win.ini file (located in the Windows directory) contains the following text:

        [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
