PC DB: How to Tell If a CONTROL.GLB File Is Corrupted

ID: Q87388

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 2.1e, 3.0, 3.2

SUMMARY

The following are some tests to determine whether a CONTROL.GLB file is corrupt:

The file size must be 8 bytes in length.

The contents of the nmailbag and nletter fields do not look abnormally large. This is not necessarily a corruption that will cause the mail system not to work; instead, it is an indication that there was some file corruption in the database and that there may be future problems.
