Re: Form Software

tried your method, but had some trouble.  What method do you use
uploading the PC file?  Using CA95/NT, I get a CWBDB0036 - Server return
SQL error - SQL0104 - Token , was not valid. Valid tokens:<IDENTIFIER>.

Do I need an FDF file?  If so, what should it be?

When I try copying the file to a sharded folder (in QDLS), and then
copying it to my empty database file, the CVTPAGSEG and CRTOVL commands
fail.  

Any idea on what's going wrong?
