    YES!  Incredibly frustrated.  TEFile.LoadwholeFile: Unable to open Whole 3-file (no exception, just bad result).  What the heck?

    Yes, has been an issue all afternoon for me on the east coast.  can not seem to get through to Lacerte but the auto messages seem to say they are working on it.

    There have been several banners across the top addressing the issue.  

    And hundreds of posts on it.

    So yes, many folks have noticed.
