Havin' trouble ...
Howdy!
Looks great so far but I can't get a new bomber crew to load. I'm having a variety of difficulties which I'm sure can be cured by a moderate dose of intelligence ..
1) During installation I am unable to find a file named B17QotSDatabase_Keep.mdb. to rename. Deleting the existing .mdb file crashes the program.
2) Running the file normally, I attempted to add the 327th Bomb Squadron of the 92nd Bomb Group, (which was the only squadron to fly the YB-40 in combat). In so doing, adding a new plane name generated an "unable to find squadron" error, though I could cycle through this error message and name a new aircraft.
3) Crew generation for this plane was not possible. Entering names in the "add crew" dialog box, I received a "one or more crew members are not assigned" error, with the process unable to be completed.

Re: Havin' trouble ...
1) You need a database or there is nothing for the program to operate on. That is why it is crashing. If don't have an existing installation, then there is no need to rename the database. The idea of renaming the database is to avoid a new installation installing *its* database over the top of your lovingly nursed campaign database. 
2) Your bomber must be of same general type as the squadron. (B-17 or YB-40s, B-24s or Lanc.) You can't assign a YB-40 to a B-24 squadron, for instance. There is no rule against having B-24 and B-17 squadrons in the same group. (Or even Lancs, for that matter.  ) If the game bails while you are adding a thing, chances are it added the thing, then bailed.
3) In order to add an airman via the add crew box, th airman must already exist.

Re: Havin' trouble ...
Like I said before .. intelligence usually takes care of these things Thanks much. I did do some bombers included as defaults and shot down the Belle on consecutive missions!
Thanks so much,
Jeff

Re: Havin' trouble ...
Extremely impressive. I finally figured out how to enter the crew and I must say it's a wonderful program! Thank you so much for the link and the help!
