Moving filePro files

[Art Moore]

I am trying to move filePro files from a system that is around 8 years old (Windows 98) to a new portable computer (Windows XP professional).  The version of filePro on the new system is 5.#.  I do not know the version on the older system but it is at least a few years old.

My first hope was LapLink (Gold 11.5) but the old computer does not have USB ports.

I have tried creating a file on the new computer with the name of the file to be sent over.  I put one field in the file definition with a length of 10 characters.  Then I e-mailed all the files from the old system and saved them to the new file just described.  All the files got mailed and put into the new directory.  The screen works, the processing seems to be okay.  The map file is there in three forms 1. a readable text file, 2. a tmp file that is not readable by windows, 3. another file named map that is unreadable by windows.

When I go to the file definition the only thing there is the single field I created just to make the file available.

Can anybody help me with this.

Thank you,
Art Moore
