SYMPTOMS
When you create a new connection, you may see the following message

Must specify link service field

even though you have already selected a link service field.



CAUSE
Before the connection record is added, its Adapter information is temporarily nulled out and restored after a successful Add. If a value is left in a field on the property page, the Validate fails, causing the Add to fail, an exception to occur, and the Adapter is never restored.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
