Stan,
I am sorry to say that your software is largely non-functional at this time on my Windows laptop, which I don't think is an atypical modern Windows installation. Almost no functions work, and many interface elements are completely unreadable. The UI is basically broken. I am attaching an image showing three basic windows from your application, all of which are unreadable.
But I must state clearly that I am quite sure it can be fixed in a week or two. These are "user-interface" problems, and do not reflect on your calculation engine --which, quite honestly, I cannot access at this time. You probably need a much more modern VB development solution before you can put this out for actual "beta" testing. I haven't used "stand-alone VB" in over a decade though I program in VB.net every day and indeed the whole NavList forum is built on that framework. You need an upgrade. Have you installed any versions of Visual Studio? For this project, you could use one of the FREE editions.
For those folks on Macs, etc., understand that this is a Windows-only build. Hewitt, you're on a Mac and/or iPad, right? You could run it in an emulator, but not native Mac (OSX) and certainly not on an iPad.
Sean, and anyone else concerned, there's no "virus". Those warnings are just nanny-gmail looking out for you. If those warnings scare you, don't download the file. It probably won't work for you anyway at this time.
