Microsoft At Work PC Fax Does Not Display a Time/Date Stamp (112619)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11

This article was previously published under Q112619

SYMPTOMS

If you use the cover sheet option with Microsoft At Work PC Fax, the date may not appear on the Date: line of a sent fax.

CAUSE

The date of the sent fax does not appear on the Date: line of the cover sheet if the sShortDate= line of the [Intl] section in the WIN.INI file is not present or is invalid.

RESOLUTION

In Control Panel, choose the International icon and choose OK. This adds the sShortDate= line to the [Intl] section of the WIN.INI file. If the date still does not appear on a sent fax, the WIN.INI file should be checked for possible invalid or corrupted entries that would prevent Windows from reading the [Intl] section properly.

Below is an example of a valid setting for [Intl] section of the WIN.INI file.
