Are you attempting to restructure the file's field structure or add a new output with an associated processing table? I would not recommend sending a new key file. That would delete any data entered or updated since your copy was made. <div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am using Win 7 and have filepro in c:\appl\filepro. When one has to<br>
send an email with an attached upgrade to a program used in<br>
filepro--when the receiver of the update is unskilled with<br>
computers---What is the easiest way to upgrade files in, for example,<br>
filepro\mac\key or filepro\mac\onbydate.prc, etc.<br>
<br>
I had one thought, and tried it out, which was to send myself an email<br>
that had an attachment which I renamed to:<br>
C:\appl\filepro\mac\keytest.<br>
<br>
When I received the email the attachment name was<br>
c:\appl\filepro\mac\keytest, so I right clicked and did a save as.<br>
<br>
The attachment went to c:\appl\filepro\mac and had the name<br>
c--appl-filepro-mac-keytest.<br>
<br>
This actually worked when I changed the name from<br>
c--appl-filepro-mac-keytest to just key. Of course I renamed the key<br>
file to something like keyhold, so that if the upgrade failed, I could<br>
just rename keyhold to key and be back in business.<br>
<br>
What is the simplest way to upgrade an unskilled user? Any one have a<br>
better way?<br>
<br>
Maybe I can have the receiver rename the key file to keyhold, and have<br>
the update end in just mac\key, so the receiver could just eliminate<br>
everything before the word key.<br>
