Hi..A newbie here.

I just downloaded PointBlank and am trying to experiment with it. When I select any of the database buttons (after selecting"new load"), there is nothing there. I tried a search from this forum but couldn't find an answer. Any suggestions? The database files seem to be in the main folder, but the program isn't accessing them for some reason.

Even if I can't get the databases to work, this seems to be a great program.

Thank you! Very Happy

Mike

Databases contain your own load information, it doesnt contain any existing load information. That info you can get out of reloading manuals or the online database here.

I am kicking around adding the ability in v2.0 to pull down load data from our online database.

Dallan now that would be a kick-butt idea!! and not only that but look at it as a "back up" sorta thing in case something stupid happens like here and one pc goes poof, you can still access from the other one..

Hunter4, I open the files with Notebook and add info. Be careful to maintain the existing format or you'll have a mess! (Ask me how I know...)
