SYMPTOMS
When using the RasSetEntryProperties API call to change the connection information for an entry in the phone book or create a new phone-book entry, the szScript parameter of the RASENTRY structure is not always preserved.



CAUSE
Although the RasSetEntryProperties API call does save the szScript value if it is the old Switch.inf style scripting, it does not save the szScript value if it is the full path to one of the new Windows 95-style scripts.

For example, this string value is correctly saved:

  "[Generic login"

But this one is not saved:

  "c:\\winnt\\system32\\ras\\pppmenu.scp"



WORKAROUND
Either use the old Switch.inf style scripting or obtain the hotfix described below.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
