I recently started to play Fighting Steel + Project + TAS and it works fine. Only thing I cant seem to get to work is the Scenario Editor.
I get the following errors:
-Data access Error
- Run-time error '401': Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed
OS: Win7 Anyone have any idea how to make it work?
Best regards Husky

Hi Husky
I had the same issue in Win10. Little question: did you installed it form a CD or and ISO downloaded from the Internet? Did you tried the compatibility mode?

Fighting Steel is not, repeat NOT, freeware, it is copyrighted software. Any copy you downloaded from any site on the internet is thus a pirated copy, and the owners (i.e. those of us who worked on it) receive no compensation for it at all. If you want a legit copy we can try to help you find one, just ask.

Its Ok - it is a common misconception that older games/software are freeware or somehow no longer copyrighted.
Glad to hear you found a copy, I will try to look at my old notes and see what I can find on the issue/error you reported. It may be tomorrow as I am currently away and wont be back until very late tonight.

Thank you! No rush though, since I ordered it from GB (I live in Germany) and it wont arrive before end of the month probably. (And before there are any misconceptions, I boughts TAS legit in the store. I swear! )

Any ideas where one can find a copy these days? I think I have one on my old external drive. How do I tell it is a full copy and not just the 10.43?
