Go back and read your directory catalog setup instructions again. As I remember you are requirred to create a mainlin database. perhaps this is the directory assistance dB that the server islooking for.

Lucille,

I’m not sure about that. I certainly wouldn’t recommend mailing something into a Dircat database, especially a Condensed Directory Catalog type of Dircat.

He should just go into his server doc and disable the scheduled Directory Cataloger task.

Depends.

If you spend many a day configuring laptops for remote access (ie: replicate all address books, update preferences with local address book, etc), then you need dircat.

If not, then just remove the task.
