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.
