I’ve been using mapforce for quite a long time and love it. Up until now I have always just used the default built in 00501 configurations for EDI. Well, I ran into an edi doc that needed a few additions. Well, cool I thought. I will just go in and edit the .config file, I love that flexibility! Well little did I know that if I had gone here

I could have just downloaded all of the various flavors from 3040-5030 (about 15 in total I think) and then I could have picked the right one to start out with! How’s that for ease of use!
Notice them all along the top! Oh, yeah and if you press the button that says Download additional EDI collections it will get you to the same place!
So since I’m lazy I just opened up the .mfd file with notepad and replaced the old config for the new config. I had to move around a few things but then wala I’m using that version of the config file. Nifty huh.
