    I will check into this.

    >What needs to be running on Gems for the Transfer via Network or Ras to
    work??  I have Network & Ras both setup on the Server & Accu-Touch
    computers, but when I select either option and try to transfer I get
    Couldn't Find Host.  Is there something else that is not defined correctly
    on the Server or Accu-Touch??

    I am right now trying to get a win95 box and a win nt box setup to determine
    exactly what needs to be done to get RAS to work. It means that I must clear
    the win95 box of all networking stuff that may confuse the issue.

    >The Clear Totals Function works properly, however, maybe there shoud be
    some warning before clearing right away.  Also, maybe we want to have a
    backup of the last 10 sets before overwriting the first, possibly with date
    and time ie: Backup-2-12-99-1-30pm.
    >I don't think it is necessary to backup the Database, only the Results and
    Audit files.  The Database should be in the Administrators possession, since
    it was loaded onto the Accu-Touch machines by them.

    I agree with warning before clearing and will get Whitman to do that. I
    believe the current clear does backup the files into a backup directory.
    This will give you a single set backup.. If you want to keep more than that
    why not transfer the results to a diskette before clearing?

    >Nothing happens when I select Transfer under the Options menu.

    Again I will chek was whitman put up as to why this does not work.

    >Still cannot Import the Election database from the A drive, it needs to
    look for A:\My Elections\ under the registry string DefDir.

    Okay did not know about this nor about how import works.  Will take a look
    at it.

    >There is no clear totals function.

    Whitman is working on this.
