New filePro product tease...

[Dennis Malen]

John,

I tried to order twice on line. Once I received an error because of the csv 
number and the second time I was declined because you needed an amount. 
There was no place to put an amount.

Another suggestion, if a field was not filled in it should take you back to 
the prior screen so you don't have to fill in the info again.



I would like to order but it does not seem to work.
