SYMPTOMS
========

When you send a Microsoft Visual Basic .MAK file as an attachment to the routing
form included with version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, you may
receive the following error message when you attempt to open the file:

  The associated application for the attached file FILENAME.MAK encountered a
  data segment error. (reason: 16)

CAUSE
=====

This error is generated when another instance of the same .MAK file is already
open in Microsoft Visual Basic.

WORKAROUND
==========

Close any existing instances of the .MAK file before opening it from within the
custom form.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 1.0 of Microsoft
Electronic Forms Designer. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
