SYMPTOMS
On your computer running Windows NT, when you start a database client program that connects to a database on a Novell NetWare server, the program generates a warning message that the Novell NetWare server's Transactional Tracking System (TTS) is not active, even though it is.

If you use your database application despite the warning, the index tables in the server's database are destroyed.

This problem occurs if you run Windows NT Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) and the database client program uses NetWare APIs to detect whether TTS is available.



CAUSE
CSNW does not correctly interpret the status information returned by the NetWare server when it checks for the presence of TTS.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT 4.0 and the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.
