    on the MISC menu.

10/18/01
    Version 1.9
    When viewing a pilot screen and then going to VIEW ACCOUNT, posting a
    payment would cause PILOT NOT IN DATABASE to appear.  This was because
    the pilot number was negative to indicate a credit rather than a debit.
    However, the pilot finding routine couldn't find a negative pilot number.
    Its fixed.  (This had to do with allowing posting of credits to all
    pilot accounts).

    Added a search function to selecting pilots (similar to that when
    using the PILOTS screen). 

10/16/01  fixed this
(When previewing a statement, if you go back and change the start date, the new start
date doesn't work, it uses the old start date intead.)  

10/7/01

(When printing account statements (single) use print dialog box (this is already done
when printing other reports.  Also when printing other reports, when clicking CANCEL,
a message box pops up stating CANCEL WAS SELECTED.  )

2/11/01
    Version 1.7
   
    Dues feature is working well, but when posting dues, it would report
    an erroneous total amount (in a message box).  Fixed this.

    Fixed a bug which would generate an error if user didn't select an mdb
    file from the dialog box.

    Added a command button when view aircraft list (under AIRCRAFT)
   
    Now the mdb data file can exist anywhere.  It will be in the data directory
    by default, but can exist elsewhere.  This will be useful for networking.

    Fuel purchases - prompt user to enter 3 letter identifier for airport

1/7/01
    Corrected an error - if entering flights and auditing earlier flights,
    then clicking SAVE (without pressing ENTER), the grid wouldn't be
    recalculated correctly - this would cause the edited flight to
    computer an erroneous hourly rate.  The rest of the flights would
    be OK.  Fixed this.

    when CANCEL was clicked)
