ID: Q196079

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 Service Pack 1, 3.0 Service Pack 2, 3.0 Service Pack 3, 4.0, and 4.0 Service Pack 1

SYMPTOMS

SNA applications written to use the CMETPN (Extract_TP_Name) function may get an access violation when API tracing has been enabled.

The Drwtsn32.log file that is generated will contain information similar to the following:


   Application exception occurred:

App: exe/Application.exe (pid=<process id number>) When: <date> @ <time> Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)


   (some details omitted for clarity)
