Excel Grader files Not Graded

I had a good exchange with Mark Romine at Panther Creek High School in Valera, TX.
He was getting Excel documents kicked out when student assignments had formula errors.

I tracked the error down to a problem locating the Symbolic computer algebra system file.

I fixed his system and I will be releasing the update. Let me know if you have a similar error.
