SYMPTOMS
If you start X400ADM.EXE, select the Local MTA button, enter a name and put a period and a comma at the end of the name, then enter the Country Code and Admd Name and select OK, the program crashes to MS-DOS with the message:

Path not found in line 0 of module LOCALMTA at address 9B84:06DA

If you restart X400ADM.EXE and select the Local MTA button, you see that the database is corrupted:


 * the Country Code entry is in the Admd Name field
 * the Admd Name entry is moved to the Prmd Name field
 * the MTA's (name) entry is gone from the OUTGOING subdirectory



CAUSE
The comma is not a valid Name field character because the program interprets commas as separators--in this case for the Name and Password fields. For example:   MTA01,,,us, ATTMAIL, When this happens the data in the Country Code and Admd Name fields is displayed in the next field down (Country Code to Admd Name; Admd Name to Prmd Name).



RESOLUTION
Remove commas from MTA field entries.

The failure is most spectacular in the MTA name, but a comma causes the same confusion in any MTA information field, since the underlying data file is delimited with commas.
