Locate Your Existing GA-TaxPro Program and Data Folders

Edited

To ensure that GA-TaxPro points to the correct data folder and utilizes your existing data, it's important to install the software in the same location each time. If you're unsure of your existing installation's location, follow one of these two methods:

Method 1: Run Your Current Version of GA-TaxPro

  • Verify Data: Run your current GA-TaxPro software and confirm your data is present.

  • Note Folder Locations:

    • Click "Setup Information" in the menu bar

    • Record your Program Folder and Current Data Folder locations

  • Close Software: Exit GA-TaxPro

You can now proceed with the installation instructions to update GA-TaxPro to the same location.

Method 2: Check the C:\GA_TaxProLog Folder

  • Verify Log Folder: Navigate to C:\GA_TaxProLog. If this folder exists, you have an existing GA-TaxPro installation on your workstation. If the folder is not present, you do not have an existing version installed.

  • Open Log File: Open the file named GA_TaxProlog.txt

  • Note your App Folder and Data Folder locations: The App Folder location should remain consistent across all versions. If it has changed, you may have accidentally altered the location in the past.

  • Close File: Close GA_TaxProlog.txt

With the location information in hand, you can now follow the installation instructions to update GA-TaxPro to the same location.

By following these steps, you'll ensure that your new GA-TaxPro installation points to the correct data folder, allowing you to access your existing data seamlessly.
