How to Update TaxEstimator

The default table used by TaxEstimator is dallas.tab and is assumed to be in the default installation directory "c:\program files\taxestimator354\". This information is stored in an initialization file (taxestimator.ini) in the default installation directory and may easily be modified using Notepad. A simple way to do this is as follows:

Click on the "Start" button and select "Find", then "Files or Folders". Type taxestimator.ini into the "Named:" box and click on the "Find Now" button.

The find request should find and list the taxestimator.ini file

Double-click on the taxestimator.ini file to invoke Notepad

You may change the name of the file to be loaded as the default when the program starts, and you may also change the default path. If you change the default path, be sure to enter a "\" as the last character.

When you have modified the file name and/or path, click on "File", then "Save", then "File" and "Exit".
