Thanks for the lightning-quick answer!

I did as you said, and everything seems to be fine, though I suppose that it will take a few days before I know for sure.

Thanks again.
David.

: : Good afternoon!

: : I am running Fund Manager 5.2.344, which is installed in a folder on D:, i.e., not the default folder. The data files are in a folder on F:.

: : When I try to update prices from my Administrator account, everything works more or less well. (More on the "more or less" later, maybe.) When I try to update them from the user account which I normally use, I get an error message which states: "Could not create internet output log file C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\intlog.txt. Check directory specifications in registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\current version\directory location.".
: : I have used regedit to look at that branch. The only values which exist are autoback, last_save, lastaccess, and newauto. The values for autoback, last_save, and lastaccess seem to be correct. newauto points to a nonexistent folder on C:, the Fund Manager default installation folder. There is indeed a file called intlog.txt in my real Fund Manager application folder, on D:.

: : How do I fix this so that I can update prices from my user account? What registry value do I add or change?

: : Thanks.
: : David.

: Hello David,

: To make this work from your normal user account please "install" the program as that user. This will take care of setting up all the registry entries. You must install it to a folder that this user has write permissions in. Fund Manager creates the log file in this folder, so it must be able to write to this folder as that user. As long as you can install it to the folder as that user, then you should be fine.
