8209 Path not found
Source
GroupWise* engine; file input/output.

Explanation
Drive or path not found.

Possible Cause(s)
GroupWise cannot find the specified drive or path.

Action(s)
Use Browse to find the correct path.

Possible Cause(s)
The file you are trying to perform an action on does not exist.

Action(s)
Enter a valid filename.

Possible Cause(s)
If this error occurs shortly after starting the GroupWise client, the path to the archive directory may not be correct.

Action(s)
In the GroupWise client, verify that the path to the archive directory exists and that you have sufficient rights to create and modify files. Look up "archive, directory" in GroupWise client Help. You can check user access rights to the directory using the RIGHTS command.

Action(s)
If the path to the archive directory is valid and this is the first time the user has tried to archive items, make sure the NGWGUARD.DC file exists in the post office. See Post Office Directory for the location of this file. If it is missing, the databases required for archiving cannot be created. To restore the NGWGUARD.DC file if it is missing, copy it from the PO directory in the software distribution directory to the post office directory. See Software Distribution Directory for the location of the backup copy of the NGWGUARD.DC file.

Possible Cause(s)
If this error occurs when importing a document into GroupWise, there may be a problem with the library.

Action(s)
Check and, if necessary, fix the library. Look up "library, database" in GroupWise Administrator Help, then display Analyze/Fix Databases for Selected Libraries. Synchronize the library. Look up "synchronizing" in GroupWise Administrator Help, then display Synchronize GroupWise Objects.

Possible Cause(s)
Some applications, such as Corel WordPerfect 7, MS Word 95, and Excel 95, need a blank file stored in the C:/WINDOWS/SHELLNEW directory. For example, Corel WordPerfect 7 needs a file named WORDPFCT.WPD to exist in the SHELLNEW directory in order to create a new file when called from GroupWise. If this error occurs when creating a new document in the GroupWise client, the blank template file for the application may be missing.

Action(s)
Check the SHELLNEW directory for the existence of a blank file for the application in use from GroupWise. If the blank file is missing, start the application independently, then save an empty file under the required name in the SHELLNEW directory. You should then be able to create new documents using that application from GroupWise.

Possible Cause(s)
A directory required for the normal flow of GroupWise messages could be missing.

Action(s)
See Directory Structures. Verify the existence, ownership, and rights of the directories involved with message flow (domain, post office, and MTA local). You can check access rights to files and directories using the RIGHTS command. You can check file and directory ownership using the NDIR command. See Check Network Access for Mapped Drive Connections.

Possible Cause(s)
A required file or subdirectory could be missing from the directory structure of the user's post office.

Action(s)
See Post Office Directory. Verify the existence, ownership, and rights of the files and subdirectories in the user's post office. You can check user access rights to files and directories using the RIGHTS command. You can check file and directory ownership using the NDIR command.

Possible Cause(s)
If this error occurs when trying to add users to a post office or when trying to rebuild a user database, a required file may be missing from the post office directory.

Action(s)
Make sure the NGWGUARD.DC file exists in the post office directory. If it does not, copy it from the PO subdirectory of your software distribution directory. See Post Office Directory and Software Distribution Directory for the specific location of this file. New user databases and message databases cannot be created for new users if this file is missing.
