Files won't open on remote computer

I create qes/rec/chk files with 1 respondent and send to a data capturer via email. She has problems opening the files in EpiData. We are both on Version 3.1 / Windows based. Any ideas what could be causing this? She can make the files on her machine with no problem and send them to me.

EpiData Entry Help file
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Colleagues: The EpiData Entry Help file is no more accessible in Windows Vista and Windows 7 as Microsoft has changed how help files work. It can be fixed easily with a Microsoft patch for either OS: Windows Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6eb… Windows 7: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=258aa5ec-e3d9-4228… ...as long as it is a 32-bit machine. With Windows 7, 64-bit, I am unable to fix the problem (even after fiddling with the registry as per MS instructions). Anybody with an idea how to fix it?
