Ok, Sorry I dropped off on this subject. I lost internet at home, and
so didn't have the list.

Ok, I purchased filePro 5.0 full development, more specifically 5.0.14DN9.

I pulled the hard drive out of the old machine, which was running
Windows 98, and 3.0 version of filePro. I placed the hard drive in my
machine at home, which is running Windows XP Professional and
installed the new version of filePro on it. I then copied the data off
of the old drive, into the filepro folder on the new drive. I then try
to run the file thru IUA, and when I pull up a record, the screen has
the data in the wrong field, and spread in between multiple fields.
The data lines up about 5 times out of the 500 records that exist.

I then made a stupid mistake, and installed the new version onto the
old machine, and now I can't even pull up the data correctly there. It
shows up the same. I have backup copies of the data, but now I can't
access it on any machine. I'd be willing to retype it into the new
version, if I could just now get it to load correctly on the old
machine. Any suggestion? If anybody could look at it, its a small
file, maybe 300k, I'd be willing to email it to them.

Here is what a correct screen looks like:
