PC Adm: Five Tildes Required Per Line in ADMIN.TPL File

SYMPTOMS

Versions 2.1x and 3.0 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks requires five tildes (~) to be used per line in the ADMIN.TPL file. This is necessary even if default values are used for any of the four entries.

The proper format for the ADMIN.TPL file is:

   Field_Prompt:~Entry1~Entry2~Entry3~Entry4~
				

If any of the tildes are missing, you will receive the following error when you try to create a new user in the Mail Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE):

   Notice 31
   Error loading template.
   Press ENTER to continue
				

Furthermore, no ADMIN.TPL template information will be visible when you modify an existing account in the Mail Administrator program.
