Ok. Question.

When editing the properties file I open it in Word Pad as that is what I saw in your example. I make the changes but it won't save directly as the file I've opened, it asks if I want to save as a text file which will remove all formatting. I try saving and it doesn't seem to work. What kind of file should this be?

Open it in notepad, do the changes and just hit save; not "save as"

Thanks. Got the properties file correct now.

Below is a pick of what happens next. After I then hit any key, the program stops.

Just to check, I'm trying to use a save of my first turn prior to starting a PBEM. Should I use a different save file to start this?

Have you copied the pwsdll.dll from the beta2 folder into the Tracker folder? It doesn't look like you have...

You'll need to delete all the trackerdb.* files and then try again...

Okay, I did it...

And for the next release (when I finally clean it up), I will find a way to make it impossible to download without reading that statement at least twice.

Basically the same, install 32 bit java, 32 bit C++ redist and you should be good to go ... http://sites.google.com/site/witptracker/support

Help......now that tracker is running I can`t seem to get it to read the latest turn ?

I`m overwriting wpae005 each save, and upon running tracker I just get the first turn save data from 12/11 instead of the last turn saved 12/17 ?

Tried deleating the .lb files and re-running, nope.
Tried saving a turn in wpae006, and changing the prop file with that save...nope.

Sorry to be a dope not seeing the obvious..........
