I'm not aware of any problems in this area. Are you sure they are
specifing the description and/or file spec correctly?
Here is sample output from the 5.1.5.7 client on Windows 2000 Server:

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

Subject: Problem with delete archive
Hello,
the archive command automatically generates an archive description o the
form "Archive Date: 01/30/2003". When users do an archive delete this way:
delete archive -des "Archive Date: 01/30/2003" c:\plan\*
then we get the error message that no objwect is found. With a description
explicitly specified by the user during the archive it works. Does anyone
know the reason for this behaviour?
Regards
Gerhard
