SYMPTOM:

This patch fixes the following problems:

1. Custom Messages - Under some conditions, the DLL associated with custom messages would not load, causing custom messages to fail.

2. Custom Commands - Under some conditions, the DLL associated with custom
 commands would not load, causing the command to fail.

3. MAPI - MAPI would not work properly with Microsoft Access. Under some conditions, a GPF would occur.

4. Calendar Printing - In some cases, the printer orientation (landscape or         portrait) was not being changed to match that of the form being printed.

5. Printing Multi-Image TIFF and Multi-Sheet Spreadsheet Attachments -  
When a user tried to print while viewing a multi-image TIFF file or a multi-sheet spreadsheet, only the first image or sheet would print. Now, the current viewed 
image or sheet will print.


TROUBLESHOOTING

If PATCH.EXE cannot locate the correct version of the Span Set, the following message will be displayed:

"WARNING WPT0015:0LD FILE DOES NOT EXIST"

This may indicate one or more of the following situations:

1. You have previously deleted one or more files from the original 
GroupWise 4.1a Span Set.

2. You are attempting to patch the wrong version of GroupWise. You may need 
to reinstall the original GroupWise 4.1a files before applying this patch.

If PATCH.EXE determines that a file does not need to be patched, it will report 
the following message:

"NEW VERSION OF FILE NAME ALREADY EXISTS"

This may indicate that you have already applied the patch. PATCH.EXE has verified that your software is up-to-date;  you do not need to take further action.
