- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
This article was previously published under Q104147
SYMPTOMS
With version 1.0 of the Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, when you save
a form that contains an extended character (such as an umlaut), the form
may lose the extended character.
CAUSE
The function responsible for expanding the character does not convert the
records from CP850 (MS-DOS code page for multi-lingual keyboard sets) to
ANSI. As a result, the extended characters are lost.
RESOLUTION
Non-English versions of Microsoft Mail for Windows must be upgraded with
new libraries to correctly support the development and use of E-forms. Disk
2 of the Electronic Forms Designer contains upgraded versions of
MAILSPL.EXE, MSSFS.DLL, and MAPI.DLL for the German and French versions of
Microsoft Mail. Upgraded versions of these files for other languages will
be available from local Microsoft subsidiaries.
The files are provided on Disk 2 in compressed format. The French versions
of the upgraded files are in the INTL\FRN directory. The German versions
are in the INTL\GER directory.
For more information, please see the Electronic Forms Designer README.WRI
file.
