When you try to save your file, QuickFile III prompts you for the date for the catalog. If you type in eight or more characters, which is more than QuickFile can convert to a valid date, the program stops with a String Overflow error and loses all the data you just typed in. To avoid this error, verify that the date you typed in is correct before pressing RETURN. Examples of what QuickFile considers to be valid dates are listed on page 41 of the QuickFile Manual.
