Estimating Transfer Problems

Problem

transfer doesn't work
Transfer Manager creates an estimate for an OLDER transfer, or for different project name when importing from Hyper Estimator to MacNail construction estimating software

Diagnosis

When they click "Export To MacNail" in HE or HR, the program creates two files, 'project dimensions', 'project specs', IN THE FOLDER CONTAINING THE HYPERCARD APPLICATION. This is important, because the HyperCard app should be inside the Hyper•Estimates folder inside the Estimates folder. It shouldn't be inside another folder.

Solution

Make sure folder arrangement is correct as per construction estimating software manual, and the the HyperCard application (or HC player) as well as the "Home" file is in the Hyper•Estimates folder. Also, you need to make sure there is only one copy of HyperCard on their hd- if they have multiple copies, the wrong one may be opening. Trash all other copies.
