2393.0. "delete archive document, what happens to file ??" by MSAM00::HOSOKEHUN () Thu Mar 11 1993 03:58

    Hi,
    
    I have a queation on archiving on ALL-IN-1 V2.4
    
    If I sent a mail to 2 people, my copy goes to read box, in the shard
    directoriy. When the 2 users read their mail, the same copy is still in
    the shared directory.
    
    Now, If we start to archive the same mail, what happens ?? I believe
    that ALL-IN-1 will make a copy of the mail in shared diretory to
    archive. So essentially, my archive area has 3 copies of the same mail
    ?? Then what happens to the original copy in the shared directory ??
    
    Also, if now I delete the archived mail, what is going to happen to the
    copy that I had archived earlier in the archived area ??
    
    
    Thanks in advance for any input.

	When you archive a document that is in a mail area then (as you say) a copy is put in the archive area and the usage count of the one in the mail area is decremented (just as if you had deleted your reference to it). If all the user's who reference the document archive it then you will get multiple copies in the archive area and the copy in the mail area will be deleted (when the usage count hits 0). If you delete an archived document then you lose your reference to it and hence can no longer access it, however the copy in the archive area will remain untouched. Normally when you archive a document you end up with two pointers to it, the original with an ARCHIVED status and a cross reference in the ARCHIVED DOCUMENTS folder. This reduces the chance of you accidentally deleting the document. HTH Terry
