Error when printing a report

Hello !

I found a bug, when you try to have a report for some date or you dont have any information, you have a bug :

Overflow in line 6 of module FILEINFO at address 0F71:6849

It's a super program !

Actually this problem is caused when you start a new register file using V6.40 or upgrade to version 6.40 and the program first reads the disk where the information for the gift card sales and user defined sales are stored. It is possible that garbage is stored at that point on the disk and the program converts it into a HUGE value. Then when you close out the register, resetting it to zero, it first puts those numbers into the file of past sales. Then when report "A" trise to read this file of past sales the HUGE number causes an OVERFLOW error. And you guys thought this program writing stuff is easy.

I am working on a fix for this and it will be in the next release. Until then you can delete the file in the folder that ends with the extension .PS1 which will solve the problem but unfortunatly also erase the file of past sales. The program will recreate this file the next time you close the register but it will of course start with the current date.
