One more error, when opening a character file I get this:


See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

It only occurs on one out of 4 characters I have created, if you need me to send you the affected sheet let me know.

New features!  Import and Export, File backup, and Unsaved data confirmation when closing!

Looking into the error, there seems to be about an even split between it being an issues with .NET on XP (XP doesn't always properly registers all the .NET dll's), and an obscure exception in the code.  I'm looking into option B, not much I can do about a;)

Does it give you an error message when it crashes?  or just drop right to the desktop?

If it doesn't where should be an error in your event log.

With Fred's Blessing, I have decided to release a software tool I have created for keeping track of NPC's in DFRPG Stories. I call it the DFRPG Rolodex and while it is still in beta it is available for download.  I would love for folks to down load it, play around with it, send me comments, questions, bugs and suggestions.  My goal is to flesh this out with use, both mine (I currently use it in my game) and through others use to make it an easy to use tool for Story Tellers out there.

The site has an auto installer if you are using IE or you can download the setup.exe http://dresdenseattle.tabbykat.us/DFRPGRolodex/setup.exe. and Install it.  The application auto-updates as patches are releases, so please let me know what you think!
