Are you sure that also applies to us Down-Under surveyors?
Try this. Works in Mississippi.
I was gonna ask "whats reading comprehension?" then I remembered not to ask questions, unless you already know the answer.
Maybe a Yankee, that writes Code for Carlson will help!

Carlson Survey 2018.
I have my codes for Field 2 Finish all set up and they are saved as a .FLD file on the computer. That is what the Carlson Survey desktop software saves them as and I cannot change it or at least I have not found they way to do that.
I need to get the same codes into my new tablet & it is using Carlson SurvPC. Here's the rub though, the data collector is looking for a .FLT file.
I cannot save the desktop file to a .FLT & I cannot seem to find any way to import a .FLD file so am I left to hand enter all of the d@mned codes or is there a simpler way.
The simpler way (and I know I'm late the the game as you have apparently already been provided an alternative solution) is to start an empty/default *.FCL file in the SurvPC software. However, once an empty *.FCL file exists on the collector, you can re-issue the Feature Code List command and choose the Load option and change the File Filter extension to match the more expansive *.FLD file format used by the Carlson desktop/office products as illustrated below:
Up north, I don't bother with those lists. I have a fld with mostly two or three letter codes, and after a while you know most of them, and it's faster to just punch them in as needed, instead of scrolling through code lists on the DC

We do the same thing down here
Out West, we don't bother with those lists either.
If you weren't smoking so much weed down in Georgia, Just A., you wouldn't have such a problem remembering them.
