PC Forms: Err: Login Failure When Opening from Browser

 Last reviewed: November 1, 1995
Article ID: Q104109
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, version 1.0, running with Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0 or 3.2

SYMPTOMS

When you try to create a new custom message using the Browser application included with version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, you may receive the following error message: 

   Login failure.

CAUSE

This error can occur when the workstation is not connected to the postoffice.

If the postoffice is not available and you select a form from the Browser application, an alert dialog box appears, followed by a prompt to work offline. If you choose to work offline, then cancel the subsequent sign-on dialog box, the above error appears. It is a MAPI error, not one returned from the Browser.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
