Question:
Trying to import Add 2 into Quest. Have deleted the contract and started over, but still getting the following error displayed in a pop up box: "Unsuccessful. Error occurred. Description: At least one 'SkippingFile' even was triggered because an error prevented a file from being processed." Unsure if it is the file or my computer, but was able to import Add 1 as well as Quest files for other projects recently put out for bid without any problems. |

Answer:
This has been addressed with Addendum No.3. |
