DOCUMENT:Q102926 12-NOV-1999 [pcmail] TITLE :PC DirSync: Invalid Import Filename Does Not Create Log PRODUCT :Microsoft Mail For PC Networks PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.0,3.0b OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0, 3.0b ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The Import (IMPORT.EXE) utility included with versions 3.0 and 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks includes an option to create a log of the Import process. If you specify an invalid path and filename, the file is not created and no error is given. CAUSE ===== If you do not specify a filename, the Import utility will default to IMPORT.LOG. The output file is placed in the LOG directory of the Mail database. You can specify a directory and filename; however, if the specified directory is invalid, the IMPORT.EXE utility will run normally but will not create the log file and will not report an error. MORE INFORMATION ================ Sample Command Lines for IMPORT.EXE ----------------------------------- Correct: import admin -p -f -l import admin -p -f -lm:\log\import.log import admin -p -f -lc:\import.log Incorrect: import admin -p -f -lm:\lgo\import.log Because LGO is not typically a valid directory in the Microsoft Mail database, this incorrect command line will fail.
