FishBC 3.0
Fisheries Age and Growth Software

Error 234fnf:

     You received this error because FishBC can not find the folder for run-time data.  This folder is required and if this folder does not exist FishBC will not function correctly.  By default the run-time data is located in the hidden Application Data folder.  If you are using an operating system prior to Windows 2000 or the "SHFolder.dll" was not properly loaded you will receive "Error 234fnf:"

     To resolve this error you will need to create a folder for FishBC runtime data to be stored and specify it in a text file saved in the FishBC application directory.  The FishBC application directory is the folder where you loaded FishBC, by default it is "C:\Program Files\FishBC 3.0".  Follow the steps below.

1. Create a folder called "FishBC" in a directory you have permission to access and save files, for example in the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\"

2. Create a text file in notepad named "savep.txt" and type the path to the folder you just created for example "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\FishBC" without the quotes.  An example "savep.txt" text file can be downloaded below. Right click on the link below and click "Save Target As..."
   savep.txt.
   

3. Save the "savep.txt" text file with the directory you created in step 1 typed into the first line to the FishBC application directory, by default FishBC was loaded in the "C:\Program Files\FishBC 3.0" folder.

4. Start FishBC 3.0 as normal.  The default settings will be created upon startup.

5. If you continue encountering this error after following the steps above send an email to jcdoll20@hotmail.com
