Are you sending them via e-mail? If so maybe zipping them before sending or saving them to disk might help. Also when you send the attachment via e-mail do you set it as Encode for Windows and Append File Name extensions? Check mark them just in case. I've had problems with .tab files in FM Pro and these are suppose to be straight text files when going between the PC's at work and my Mac at home (though OS 9.1 has no problems with the files when downloaded via e-mail and imported with FM Pro 4.1 and up) -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
