Still trying to get Mac files onto the Win platform. Get the "not in this solution"
error message. I understand that I must import all the Mac files into the
Win files. Several of questions.
(1) Do I only have to import the files that have been changed on the mac side?
(2) Delete the current single record in the Win file first - or does it not matter?
(3) If it does matter, should I delete the single record from all the Win files (not
just the changed ones)?
(4) on the import should I "perform auto enter options while importing"?
Thanks
