Known Issues with Connection Point Services

• If you are running Connection Point Services remotely and the file server connection is lost, a run-time error may occur or the Phone Book Administrator will hang.
• Phone Book Administrator does not support remotely posting or importing phone books from one type of platform to a different type (for example, from an x86 computer to an Alpha computer).
• Posting phone books by using the command-line interface does not work in this release.
• Phone book files must be in plain text format (.txt). Phone book files saved in other formats (for example, Word, Wordpad, or Rich-Text Format) will not work properly.
• Phone book files will not post correctly when usernames or hostnames are typed in a double-byte character set (DBCS). To type numbers on a DBCS version of Windows 95 or Windows NT, use an Input Method Editor (IME) set up to produce single-byte character set (SBCS) numbers.
• If you uninstall Microsoft® Access 97 or Visual Basic® from a computer running Phone Book Administrator, you must reinstall Phone Book Adminstrator after the uninstallation is finished.
