Fixedscreen shot filename too big error.

block with variable not set.
runtime error.
you can select the long filename as a pic, but it will crash the gamebase.
you need to close Gamebase in task manager afterwards.
only way to fix MDB is to edit screenshot file name entry in Access.
As a bonus, you can now resize the screenshot selector window too.
OK, I don't have the time to let you add an arbitrary number of fields, or to change GameBase to allow multiple publishers/coders/musicians etc per game (as separate linked fields). What I can do though, is add some new fields. I'm thinking Graphics artist, game rarity, developer, license (commercial/public domain/freeware etc), plus a weblink field for the game info, and a weblink field for the version info tab (could be used as a download link for example). Might have a few more yes/no fields too.More fields definitely
How does that sound. Would that be enough fields for now? Of course you can always change the meaning/name of them via the ini file.
Adding more fields will make the tab area bigger under the game lists, so the frontend will no longer fit on a 640x480 screen - which I'm assuming isn't a problem these days anyway.
Other (unmentioned) tweaks planned:
- Let you set the GBGame folder location.
- Split options dialog up into "Frontend options" and "Per Database Options"
