Please help....

When I try to startTurboTax2008, I see this exception in the log
file. I have the proper .NET loaded. Funny thing is that this sale
location "TY08" is being written to the log file.

Horray!!!,

I just figured this out on my own. I was looking at the TY08 file
where the log file was which is under "my account"/application data
etc. If I would have read the exception closer, I would have seen that
it is referring to "all users". Once I figured this out, I just opened
up permission on TY08 to System and my account and now all is fine.

Thanks for your assistance.

Thank you. This solved my problem perfectly.
