: Hello Mark

: Many thanks for the rapid response and the suggestions.

: It looks as though this is something of a mystery. I've checked the program folder and there is no tf.tmp file. The program and all other folders have write permission and the user (me) is the Administrator.

: The only slightly unusual feature about my installation is that the program is installed on the on my D drive (in D:\Program Files\Fund Manager) rather than the C drive. And my data folders are in E:\Shares\FM Data. To eliminate the later from the equation I have tried the import process using a test data file in the sample prices portfolio and encountered the same "Could not write to file" error.

: Any further thoughts would be appreciated.

: Regards

Hi Michael,

Okay, please use "regedit" to go look at the value of "base" in this location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\directory location

The value of "base" is where FM thinks it was installed, and this is the folder where it will try to create this tf.tmp file. If that registry key is wrong, you can either manually correct it, or re-install Fund Manager to fix it up.

Thanks,
Mark
