Following our previous message just before Christmas, technical bugs have been removed and new eforms (versions 1.0.1 EN, 1.0.1 FR and 1.0.1 DE) have been posted on our website today (14/01/2011).
1) If you have not yet started filling in your eform, please use the new templates (versions 1.0.1 EN, 1.0.1 FR and 1.0.1 DE).
2) If you have already started filling in the previous template (version 1.0 EN, 1.0 FR or 1.0 DE), please take note of the following issues:
It has been noticed that, in some cases:
- The e-form loses some of its data after submission. This problem does not affect the data that is transferred to our database but only the printed version of the e-form.
- The poetry budget of Part C6 does not seem to always allow you to enter the Total Operating Costs.
You are therefore advised to print your e-form once submitted and check the following data:
- the project end date (Part C1)
- the flat rates and budget (Part C6)
If some of the data have changed or disappeared, please make handwritten corrections on the paper copy of the eform and send it to us together with the rest of the paper application package. Please note that the eform should be printed after submission so that the submission number appears at the bottom of each page.
