Re: Form Software

Question - I'm having some difficulty with this technique (Using CA
95/NT) - exactly how do you transfer the file?  The file transfer seems
to give me an error any time I attempt it specifying no File Description
File.  - something about an invalid token.  I tried copying the file to
a shared folder & then copying to the physical file of length 1024, but
that failed on the crt page segment or overlay commands.
