AWFAX: Invalid Directory Accepted in Share Fax Modem Dialog (111685)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q111685 SYMPTOMS
When you are sharing a fax using Microsoft At Work PC Fax, the Share Local
Fax Modem dialog box allows you to type an invalid directory name. When you
choose OK, you receive the following error message:
The Share directory does not exist
When a valid share directory is entered, At Work PC Fax accepts it, but the
invalid share directory created previously remains on the hard disk. The
directory cannot be deleted by using File Manager or by using the MS-DOS
RMDIR command.
RESOLUTION
You can remove the directory with the MS-DOS 6 DELTREE command. For
example, if the directory was created with spaces between each letter
C:\F A X
then the following command (executed from the parent directory) removes
the invalid directory:
DELTREE "F A X"
NOTE: Use the SPACEBAR to add the spaces and make sure you include the
quotation marks.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups
version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
