[Dxbase] HELP

One little note.
With each certificate for that SPECIFIC state/county, it will be for a specified time 
frame.
If you accidentally pick the wrong certificate to use when 'signing' and uploading, you 
will get a 'time frame' error message.

What I would do is keep each of the .adi files created in a separate directory with a 
naming convention that would distinguish them.
