THIS EDIT IS REALLY ONLY FOR Jcrreid, INTENDED TO HELP IMPROVE HIS ATTITUDE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Jcrreid and your other ID: Your question confused me too because you were talking about the TTax CD and mixing in going on line etc. That just muddied your real question. Actually I had the same question...which is why I am here. Obviously the person who helped you, calm and without any insults, had good intentions. Bottom Line________________________________________ I am not an expert, just a 4 year user. Got the same error. It only seems to happen when I run one year, say 2016, and then open another year, say 2017 after closing 2016. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, I shut down my PC and restart the program w/o a problem. In addition when I close other apps/programs whatever (as the TT program so instructs) I don't get error 70001. That helped me and I hope it helps you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jcrreid Now on to other lessons or a diversion: To me, the most offensive thing you said was criticism of those who may not have English as their first language. Wow, what a good example of bigotry, and perhaps racism. Archie Bunker at his best. You should have more respect for those who can speak other languages, sometimes many other languages, not just English like typical Americans. Reminds me of the "Ugly American" traveling abroad who demands people speak English. Also the same kind of person who demands McDonalds over the local diet, some other things you can explore to broaden your short range horizon. For example Real Belgian Waffles or Crepes Suzette. Yumm! Diverting a bit: Do you know why Many countries e.g. Cyprus and France, call "a quarter pounder" a "Burger Royale with Cheese?". Whilst this is not intended to emphasize "Pulp Fiction" or the murderer who made the same observation, it is intended as a lesson for the undereducated. Turns out most countries outside the US use the metric system and "pound" is unfamiliar. "Bad marketing don't ya know". (BTW, this Chemical Engineer and others prefer metric over the English system of weights and measures: much more practical. Using a factor of 10 is so much easier than converting units like e.g. miles/gallon instead of liters per kilometer. Maybe you haven't travelled the world and you live in a box where you think your way is the only way. Are you from Texas or Louisiana? (I know that is a generalization, but I am trying to make a point, that your apparent limited exposure can't yet understand.* You could broaden your horizons by realizing that there are others in the world with different cultures and different approaches*. They bring diversity to the table...an attribute that we use in the industry to be more effective in solving problems. Remember back in grade school your report card had a Report Card category "works and plays well with others?" I assume you made it through the third grade? Was your grade an "F"? It's never too late to learn. "Believe Me!" ---------------------------------- But I digress: *e.g. Back in my day in 1984, I was on assignment with my Division Manager at Esso Chemical in Normandie (French spelling) France. for 5 years. He had a real bad attitude. During high level meetings (actually during all level meetings) he used to say "This is the way we do it in Baytown Texas and it's the only way. (Apparently he had the "NOT invented here" philosophy) "It's my way or the highway!" He would also say, "No wonder YOU PEOPLE don't have Barbeque and French Fries, … oh yeah, what all y' all call Pommes Frites... or ya know, Freedom Fries." WOW! Total Silence in the room. 21 people around the table were aghast! (Another ugly American?) The very long and the short of it is that the (Texas American Vice President in Brussels, (that's located in Belgium) sent this "bozo" back to Baytown, Texas after only one year, cutting short his 5 year assignment. I used to joke with the locals that it was too bad this guy's Household Shipment of Furnishings, in one of those big shipping containers, didn't fall from the deck of the freighter during a storm! It actually happened to another Expat! --------------------------------- After 25 years of using TTax, I can't imagine you giving up so easily. I mean you sound like you have been a loyal customer. Also sounds like a very angry person. When Error 70001 first happened to me, I too got very frustrated, angry and cursed at my PC. However when you get angry and throw out insults, or are in a bad mood and take it out on others, do you really think that is going to help? Maybe you are older. Many older people are more abusive when they old. I know because I am 75. How old are you? Could be your young an feel "entitled", like others of your generation? Who wants to help an abusive immature fool? It was obvious you turned off those willing to help with your bad and repulsive attitude. You just came out swinging at the outset. Being cordial is not difficult if you try. It should always be your start game. Cordial and motivated to get a helpful answer. You might try it and change for the better. Again Very immature and lacking common sense and social skills. Then when you started to threaten by going somewhere else and badmouthing etc, I started to wonder whether you were just sick, or of the ME generation or your mother spoiled you and she did everything for you. She gave you immediate attention when you opened your mouth and demanded this or that. Maybe you just had a few bad days...Hmmmm probably off your meds. I go crazy when I am off my meds, but I don't get abusive to anyone else like you did. I'd hate to be on the same airplane s you....too risky. Emphasizing the point, try to CHANGE your attitude. Change is good. You'll find life is more pleasant. You should apologize for your very poor behavior. Apologize not only to the nice person who looked passed your behavior, and tried still tried to help. I'm trying to help; Sincerely. You should also apologizes to other people who read your diatribe and wasted there time in search for something more productive. Sm I wasting my time. No, not if it will help anther be a better person. Other people who are nice decent folk just coming here for some help. People help each other when they have mutual respect and treat each other according to the Golden Rule. I apologize that this comment is so long. I know I really overdid it. I meant it only for you. I don't expect others to read it this far. HA 🙂 I hope you do. You really, really rubbed me the wrong way! I hope these frank comments help you. I am only an engineer, not a therapist. I always try to help people. Maybe this will help you too. Have a nice week! BLGee
