This thread is huge, so I am going to be lazy and just ask, is there some kind of text document I can download that covers what the program is doing? The reason is I have two PBEM games going and have two tracker folders, one for each game, but the PBEM game that is behind in time, looks like it is picking up data from the other game, like tracker is showing it as a turn from in the past from the game further along.

What data are we talking about, the game save data or the intel data ? The trick is how you set up the properties files and that you are using different save slots for the two different games ...
Look at the installation and setup here:

side note** If I had two games going, I'd actually play using two installs of WITP-AE (and hence different save locations for both games configured in the properties file)... but that is just me [;)]

And I thought laziness only paid off in Dilbert cartoons...

Yeah, check your witptracker.properties files in each folder. If they both point to the same file, that would be your culprit.
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Not a chance I'd say as they changed the save file format and added security for AE PBEM. This version of tracker is only for AE ...

The other older version of Tracker for WITP(stock) would be more compatible with WPO as I guess they use the same save file format ... still I'd be very very surprised if it were compatible...

I don't have WPO so send me a savefile for WPO and I can have a look if you want.

That is what I thought.  If you know where an old version of tracker can be downloaded, I will try it myself.  I don't want to waste your time with this. [:)]

Error report - when in the air production tab, engine sub tab, history displays the history of the wrong engine.
Damn I thought I fixed that 2 releases ago ...

Where is it?
 
[I feel like a dolt.]
 
I down-loaded the Tracker, extracted it, loaded the first turn.
 
Was going to do the Region stuff.  But later.  I close everything.
 
This morning.....hmmm, how to I get to the tracker?  Did I make a mistake?--Extracting it into a temporary internet file?  Even if I find those extracted files, what do I click to start the Tracker.
 
I am sure this is utterly obvious....but I am stumped.

Rankorian,
I have little idea where you've extracted it ... but you could do a file search on witptracker.bat to find it... This is also the file which launches tracker (double click it)

Loading the region files is easy, see Import Method http://sites.google.com/site/witptracker/regions-1

I have downloaded and succssesfully installed your wonderfully comprehensive tracker program. I even managed to shortcut it to the desktop. However, being a newbie to this game, I have one question. Now that I got it, what do I do with it!!!!!!![&:]
Thanks.

Steamboateng,
welcome aboard Tracker ... I guess you're being facetious or should I take this at face value ?

I have a request for an enhancement, and this tool is outstanding by the way. In the aircraft comparison portion is it possible to show the game firepower rating. You have the weapons listed, but that does not always give you an very good idea because of how some of the weapons are rated. Just an idea.
