XWEB: Err Msg: You Can Only Submit a File That Has a Data Fork

Article ID: 175581

APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Outlook Web Access 5.5
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q175581


SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to attach a file using Netscape Navigator version 3.01 for Macintosh to access the Outlook Web Access client, the following error occurs:

You can only submit a file that has a data fork.

CAUSE

This is a problem with Netscape Navigator version 3.01. This error occurs because Netscape Navigator does no encoding of the attachment. Encoding is necessary to preserve the resource fork.

WORKAROUND

For attachments to work properly, use a Web browser that can preserve the resource fork. Internet Explorer version 3.01 or higher, or Netscape Communicator version 4.03 will work successfully.
