The Freight Program Management Office has corrected the errors previously identified on the ITMS CD related to the "Freight Queries". In order to resolve this problem on your own system, you will need to put your cursor over the file "engine.vcx" listed below and click your right mouse button and choose "save as" or "save link as" and copy it into the directory you installed ITMS under. This is normally C:\ITMS. Repeat this process for the file named "engine.vct". Once both files have been copied, you can then restart ITMS.

If you have any problems downloading these two files, please contact either Robyn Bennett at (816) 823-3646. We apologize for any inconvenience these problems have caused you. Future releases of ITMS will contain the appropriate files to prevent this error from occurring again.

January 3, 2000
