[Equest-users] eQuest on multiple machines

You must transfer both  .inp file and pd2 file .The pd2 file only stores the  data in wizard mode.The inp stores all the data about the project.pd2 file and inp file must in the same directory.

You can "save-as" your work back onto the USB drive when you're done for re-transfer.

>I have a work computer and a personal computer and have eQuest installed on both.  When I try to transfer the .pd2 file from one computer to the eQuest projects directory on the other computer (to continue working from a different computer) I start getting all kinds of errors whenever I run the simulations or open the files.  The file still opens, but once I transfer the file from computer to another there are a variety of problems that surface from that point on.  Is there a procedure for transferring these projects that I am not following?
