Can anyone tell me why the excel editor does work for WIR. It seems to work fine for pacwar. It's a dam shame. A powerful tool if the thing worked. I keep getting object not defined or some such stuff. Help!

Hello
several things
1) You have downloaded the correct Excell editor?
there are 2 versions , one for Pacwar, and the second for WIR.
2) You have the correct path assigned?
On the first page, you must enter the full path and name of the file you wish to edit.
eg D:\MatrixGames\War In Russia\obwir
I have been using the Excell editor for WIR for several years now, and have no major problems with it.
(Many minor problems, but I won't go into them here.):D

Ok
My editor for pacwar works fine.
My editor for WIR keeps giving me a run-time error message. To be exact, it reads "run-time error 1004... application-defined or object-defined error."
I'm cofused...

Doublecheck that the load path specified on the 1st page is correct.
(that's the misc. page, very first tab.)

OK Here's What I've Done
The directory I have setup for WIR is D:\matrixwir
I went to the misc page in the editor and edited in to the FILE cell D:\matrixwir\savea
Then I hit the open buttton
everytime after that I get a run-time error.
?????

Try using the path
D:\matrixwir\obwir
Do you still get a runtime error truying to load this file?
The editor should work on saved games, It will load mine fine.
Is the Runtime error No.76?
If so, then that is an invalid drive number/Directory not found error.
If So, please carefully re-check that you have the correct drive, and directory path. as this error can be caused by somthing as simple as a misplaced " "

HI
I've just tried what you have suggested. And I get a run-time error 1004
My PACWAR editor seems to work fine.
I've even downloaded another copy. And I still get a run-time error.

Unfortunately I have no idea what a runtime 1004 error means.

Hello!
May be...
1004 '[Method name]' method of '[object]' class failed
The method cannot be used on the object. Possible reasons for this include the following:
An argument contains a value that isn’t valid. A common cause of this problem is an attempt to access an object that doesn’t exist (for example, you tried to use Workbooks(5) when there were only three workbooks open).
The method cannot be used in the applied context. For example, some Range object methods require that the range contain data; if the range doesn’t contain data, the method fails.
An external error occurred, such as a failure to read from or write to a file.
For more information about the method, search Help for the method name.
