SUMMARY
=======
If you run Great Plains Accounting software version 6.1 in the Microsoft Windows
operating system version 3.1 and the FILES statement in your CONFIG.SYS file is
set to less than 50, MS-DOS run-time errors occur.

a single-user environment and FILES=60 for a multi-user environment. It may be
necessary to increase these values.
You may get the following error messages when running Great Plains from Windows
3.1:
