[Year 12 IT Apps] RE: Markbook on Vista

[laurie Savage]

Thanks James:

I didn't know about that. Unfortunately that will break my XP users'
installation if they upgrade. They are using c:\Markbook as the root
directory and keep their old files there. We all know how simple we have
to keep things for most of our staff!
