Run Time Error 52 in EasyACCT

RTE 52 can be the result of :

Conflict with Anti-Virus programs:

• Don't run more than one Anti-Virus program in real-time scanning on the same computer.  If more than one Anti-Virus is installed, only one of them should be set to real-time scanning, the other should be used only for manual scanning. 
• This is especially important if EasyACCT data is on a different computer.  If the program and the data are on different computers (that is a server), then configure one of the Anti-Virus programs to exclude the EasyACCT data path as well as the ezacctw.exe file from real-time scanning. 
• Keep in mind Spyware and Anti-Virus aren't the same thing.  Spyware can be running while the Anti-Virus, but not the two Anti-Virus. We don't support Anti-Virus Software. The settings will be determined by you or your IT professional.
