Updated 4-9-2008! New version or RC Flight Log Runtime for Windows. See Below

Thanks Mearlin!

Anyone having trouble getting this to work?

[Finless]

It worked for me! You DO have MS Access on your PC yes?

Bob

Anyone having trouble getting this to work?

Yes...I also get an error.

Okay....I did get an error. But second time I tried to run.... it worked.

[Caleb Phillips]

Yeah, I have MS Access. I'm not getting an error so to say, it's just displaying the title screen and not doing anything after that.

[aburl81]

what version of Access do you have?

[tz250w]

I'm running Access 2002 SP3 and this is the error I get when I try to open. :(

[booger]

works great for me. thanks for the useful tool

[Caleb Phillips]

I have office 2007, not sure what specific version of Access I have though.

[nregjeb]

I'm running Access 2002 SP3 and this is the error I get when I try to open. :(

I read that error as meaning you didn't save the file to your hard drive. To me, it sounds like you tried to open the file from the 'Helifreak' site.

If you did save the file to your hard drive and are trying to run it form there. I don't understand the error and I hope someone else can help.

[Finless]

I bet he just opened the ZIP file like a folder then tried to run it. UNZIP all the files to your hard drive!

Bob

[nregjeb]

You are probably correct. I didn't even noticed it was zipped last evening when I downloaded the file.

That was probably part of the error I had when I tried to run it the first time last evening. Thanks for waking me up.

Ah may be shtupid, but ah ain't dat shtupid! :tongue

It's downloaded, unzipped and sitting on my desktop. My Access has no access...:(

Edit... Well, it didn't until I just right clicked and opened properties. There was a little security section that said it was blocked since it wasn't from this (my) computer. After "unblocking" it, it now works.

Nice to see Microstiff is looking out for my safety... I just wish they wouldn't lie in their error messages!

Here's a snap of the properties window with the little warning that it "might" be blocked...

The Database is not digitally signed so you will have to enable macros or the timer event will not trigger. The timer event is what displays the splash screen for a few seconds and then closes and loads the main menu.

Glad you like it :) BTW I can always add to it if you find a need for something which is not there or can be improved upon.

Hi,

I used to use this program (don't really keep a proper log anymore):

http://www.lammers.ca/FlightLog/index.html

It's old, but it can take a lot of information. Things like: amount spent at various stores (the totals are scary) and on what, battary charge history, maintenance schedules, spare parts used etc.

Worth a look.

Regards,

Is there a way to put this flight log in MS Excel since I do not have MS Access?

Thank you.
