SYMPTOMS
========

Depending on special circumstances, you may need to modify the default location
of the qroot parameter in the Linkage\Exchconn.ini file. If you use a drive
mapping (for example, QROOT=Z:\Exchconn), and then proceed to log off, the
following error messages will occur in the event logs.

   1997/09/20 05:14:10- LME-PROFS-DIAMEX(00df) 1 04067:{The filename was
   invalid}: Unable to open QCR file z:\exchconn\q\vm2mex.in\00000000.qcr in
   queue vm2mex.in

   >> qm(7883)
   1997/09/20 05:14:10- LME-PROFS-DIAMEX(00df) 1 04076:{The filename was
   invalid}: Unable to query current state of queue vm2mex.in

   1997/09/20 05:14:10- LME-PROFS-DIAMEX(00df) 1 04028:{The filename was
   invalid}: Unable to get next queue item from queue vm2mex.in - could not
   access QCR

   >> qm(3193)
   1997/09/20 05:14:10- LME-PROFS-DIAMEX(00df) 1 56106:{I/O error has occurred}:
   Could not read next queue item from vm2mex.in

   >> dia2mex(1573)

CAUSE
=====

The Microsoft Exchange Connectivity services are incorrectly using localized
information.

WORKAROUND
==========

Rather than using a drive mapping, specify a full Uniform Naming Convention
(UNC) path to the actual location of the Qroot directory (for example,
QROOT=\\<server_name>\Exchconn).
