Version 15.01.09
Note to present clients who are upgrading from an older
version of Investment Analyst
Due to changes that
were made in this version of Investment Analyst, it was necessary to change the
default Folder location where Analyst data files are saved. In earlier versions
of Analyst, these files were saved, by default, to "C:\Program Files\AnalystICC"
or "C:\Program Files\Financial Masterplan\Investment Analyst". Although we made
every effort to keep your present Folder location for saving data files, this
was not possible in all cases. To view or change the new setting for Default
Folder for Analyst data files, click on the Defaults tab.
To locate all of
your saved Analyst data files, click on Start, then Search, then All Files and
Folders. Type "*.dta" in the Search Box. The location of all of the Analyst
data files that you have saved should be displayed. If you have difficulty
locating data files that you have previously saved, please call us and we will
be happy to assist you in locating these files.
