PC DOS: Err Msg: Notice 98 No Log Folder Has Been Defined

• Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation, versions 3.0, 3.0a, and 3.2

SYMPTOMS

While composing a message in version 3.0, 3.0a, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation, you may receive the following message:

   Notice 98 No log folder has been defined

CAUSE

When you create a folder and set Autologging to Yes by selecting Options, Configure, Log, Folder, Compose-Messages, the ACCESS3.GLB is updated with this information.

If you delete this folder with Autologging still set to Yes, then Options, Configure, Log, Folder, and Compose-Messages are blank and Autologging appears to be set to No. However, the information is not actually reset; the program still looks for a log folder and ACCESS3.GLB is not updated when you delete a folder.

This error occurs with Compose_Messages and Read_Messages log folders, regardless of whether the folder is private or shared.

RESOLUTION

Create a new folder by selecting Options, Configure, Log, Folder, Compose-Messages. Choose the folder and set Autologging to No. Then delete the folder.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
