Not a Valid Database message

This message may occur in versions of 2.x and early versions of 3.x and occurs when someone has tried to open the .gab file (the file email clients access for Read Only mode) from within the Admin Utility.
To resolve this simply edit the DNZGABDB.INI and edit the line DBNAME= and point this to the .mdb file (default name DNZGABDB.MDB).
