| | And thank you guys again for maintaining this! I literally use it every day when I have downtime at work, and wouldn't want to build warbands without it. Thanx again! | |

| I finally downloaded this about a month ago. Why, oh why, did I wait? This is one of the best utilities for gaming ever. Thanks to the team!
Is there a way to import and export data from my work computer to home computer and vice versa, just in case I have some extra time here at work? | |

Not yet - but that's on the list!
And - to all - thanks for the praise - we appreciate it. | |

| Well, let me add to the praise then, because the Bifur Warband Generator is by FAR the best of the lot out there.
The others have tried, but they pale in comparison.

Be sure the warband name doesn't have specialty characters in it (ie: apostrophies). MS-Access doesn't like that. | |

Assuming you managed the conversion routines? Thank you very much.
Worked very easily. Very happy to see this feature.

I hope the collection drive for Bifur's to run without access installed is going along well.

| Sammael sent me generic code that he'd written and that worked really well in test. With some little changes, with the addition of the browse functionality in the import dialogue, it plugged in really smoothly! Great work Sammael!!!!
By the way version 2.9.4b is up with some further typo corrections and warband building! | |

| | There is a office developers' edition of Visual Studio that will allow you to package Bifur's with a run time only version of Access. We're collecting towards this (unless someone has a better idea of being able to make the tool available more widely). | |

| OK... Sometimes people need an incentive to give. I have a bunch of Chainmail minis that I've been trying to get rid of. How about I sell them with proceeds going to this project. Basically, I would only take out the cost of shipping, everything else I would donate to the project.
As I noted in another thread I'm going to be moving in a few months so you'll actually be doing me a favor if we do this. One less box I have to move.
All of the Chainmail Minis I have have DDM equivalents so they're still usable for both Skirmish and RPG. Anyway, let me know what you think. :)

I might be able to just give you the software. I have the MSDN Professional Subscription (for VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005, which I use all the time), and I'm not using the software you describe. At least I think it's the one you're referring to. The disk is labelled: "Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System". That seems like the same thing to me. What should I look for on the disk, as a sign that I have the right stuff?

| | That'd seem like the right one - it should have packageable versions of Access etc. on it - there should be two wizards: 1) To customise the Office menus and 2) To create a package with the file included with and executable. | |

That should be the disk. I'm just not sure if we also need to have Visual Studio 2005 installed to be able to make use of it (the MS website really isn't clear on this).
That would be awesome! We could finally release Bifur to everyone.
