OpenOffice isn't able to accomplish this task, cuz lack of VBA. If you are looking for an affordable prize of Office2013, pls have a look at the internet. I bought my Office Pro 2013 key from a professional IT seller, who bought them from cash-strapped or liquidated companies, for 60€ including a Win 7 pro-version. It is all legal! You only have to download the images from their download server. And tbh, 60 bucks aren't THAT much for a complete Office 2013 pro including Win 7 pro! You paid much more for your HOTAS .
Also on a slightly different note, is there a way to string the log files together so that it shows where I been previously as if I open the TCE on a different day it starts a new list, or even a way to load the old list first?
the Logbook isnt persistant at the moment, but all files required for this are at the Log folder of ED.
TCE.mdb is the main database file. If you have a problem with it, extract it from the backup into the DB folder.

The Economy Type List is missing a fair few combinations of options. E.G.
For instance we have: "High Tech/Refinery" but we don't have "Refinery/High Tech"
Yet we do have "Refinery/Extraction" and "Extraction/Refinery"
I can see why you've not got all the variants in the db as there are quite a few, and probably most people don't mind using "High Tech/Refinery for Economy even when it's really "Refinery/High Tech"
I remember reading a few days back about a new economy Type someone had found and you advised that it can be changed but it's not straight forward, I seem to remember. However I can't find that post presently so I'm asking can I just add the different variants to the list?
You can do it, but i change the system completely into primary and secondary economy. All registered stations will get a new economy ID to represent the new structure. I suggest, you make a note to the star system and change it to the new system, when it comes out. But now select high tech only.
But I'm not sure what that really means, as knowing that there are currently 8 different Economy Types then there could actually be, in Theory 64 different Economies with Primary/Secondary types.
I can think of two ways to resolve this:
1: Add all combinations that are feasibly possible
OR 2: When adding an Economy type have two options Primary and Secondary
All possible combinations below.
AGRICULTURAL AGRICULTURAL/EXTRACTION AGRICULTURAL/REFINERY AGRICULTURAL/HIGH TECH AGRICULTURAL/INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURAL/SERVICE AGRICULTURAL/TERRAFORMING AGRICULTURAL/TOURISM
EXTRACTION EXTRACTION/AGRICULTURAL EXTRACTION/REFINERY EXTRACTION/HIGH TECH EXTRACTION/INDUSTRIAL EXTRACTION/SERVICE EXTRACTION/TERRAFORMING EXTRACTION/TOURISM
REFINERY REFINERY/AGRICULTURAL REFINERY/EXTRACTION REFINERY/HIGH TECH REFINERY/INDUSTRIAL REFINERY/SERVICE REFINERY/TERRAFORMING REFINERY/TOURISM

=================================
Also, as you may know 1.2 comes out tomorrow and there's a new Commodity that's been added to the game. Painite as below in the screenshot.
I believe it's only minable like Platinum appears to be currently, so no station sells it, as far as I'm aware.
I've tried most of the community add-ons for ED and for the past week have been playing around with TCE.
IMHO it is the best one out there - the integration with ED makes it seem part of it (FD themselves could do with taking note as this is what is missing from ED at the moment).
Just one small problem however - v1.36b was working fine for me but since moving to v1.37 beta the Trade Scout produces a 'subscript out of range' error everytime.
I have pasted the debug screenshot below if this will help.

This marked codeline checks the padsize of a station. There are 11 possible stationtypes in the database "Type" table. Did you add one yourself into the Type table of TCE.mdb and saved a station with it?
Yes, the Ship Log is a new project. Any inspirations, what it should hold and log? It will be persistant with a new database file, in case of problems with the main.
- Yes ! Persistence and a nice readable, Blog like, presentation in the database.
- The ability to stretch it (make the window longer in TCE) to be able to see more entries at the same time and range up and down with the scroll bar
- have a date entry at the beginning of each new day to make a clear separation.
- Have the ability to insert notes anywhere in it between the automatic navigation entries.
- right click/select one of the automatic entry to set it as the new destination ?
That way it could really serve as a log book, same as any boat captain keeps.
And if it's Database/Datasheet file was made in a presentable way,
with time and use, it could be read like a book/blog !
I don't think you can automatically log what we buy/sell, when we get interdicted...
So that would all have to be entered by the user in the note box, like any other comment.
If you really wanted to push it,
Something like the menu of this forum's quick reply, with font size, bold and color for the note box
Emoticons ? lol Maybe i'll think of more useful things again later lol

Thank you for posting all combinations, so it was very easy to add all versions now (beta2). Cant say, when the new primary/secondary eco system is ready to test, so i dicided, adding all gives me the time to make the new system working.
You can add new commodities through the Wares Database panel. Please be patient, when saving.
Update (V1.37 beta2) released:
- New Hotkey feature to completely hide/show TCE (Options panel)
- 40 new Economies (added automatically to your database)
- Bugfix in Commoditiy Database panel (if you add a new commodity, please be patient, when saving)
- Bugfix in Cartography "Add Note"
- Adjusted size of Station Distance at the Scout panel
- Reactivated auto-switch to elite, when hitting ENTER-Key in distance boxes at the Star System Database panel.
Note: If you adding a commodity, TCE OCR language is lock to "english", till the entries for all languages are included into the Language.mdb file.

You dont need to add them manually. When starting TCE, all versions are added to your database. The import button at the Options panel is for pre V1.36 databases only.

I've a few and will put some more thought into it for you
1. Folder Structure - the ability to store Locations with notes within folders. EG:
Tourism - beautiful or unusual systems.
Blacklist - I might store location and pilot info about places and people who interdict me, so I can go get some payback
Hotspots - Warzones, known pirate grounds, dangerous locations.
Contacts - Pilot details.
2. Local Data Popup - Any notes we store about a system, are displayed as a pop-up panel, when we arrive at that location. EG; the pop-up could remind us when we previously visited this system we were attacked, give their name, and anything else we included in the notes.
3. Ability to select a Location from the Log as destination to receive route info.
...I'll give it some more thought tonight!
EDIT:
If the Log automatically records where we've been, and when we were there...it would be good to include, 'for how long we were there'. This way, if we wish to return to a location we spent some time at, but don't recall the name, we can see on the list where we spent our time, and ascertain the right location.
As per the instructions, press enter after you have entered the 4th distance to get the save button to appear.
Clicking the status or the note box also works but with previous version I got a crash if I did it with the note box and not added at least one character in before clicking space.
Haven't been in a new sector since the update, so not tested with the new version yet.
Didnt thought, it could be interpreted vice versa, as you did.
Station Distance = Distance between trade stations
Star Distance = Distance between primary star and trade station
But i understand your view of it, maybe i change it to "Station to Station" and "Station to Star" for better clearness, or perhaps you have a better label for both. Any other suggestions?
