Actually, you don't even need to click on the link to see your name appear. If you have Amazon cookies on your PC, the Amazon banner ad will show your name. As explained on the Amazon site, however, the site owner (Moonlight Labs) doesn't have access to this information.

Thanks for the clarification

I tried installing this some time ago, no go. I just tried again, I get an error msg some .dll file is missing or something like that...I am glad you are all enjoying it, I 'll just keep on doing what I 've been doing...too bad it really sounds neat if I could get it to work.

I am on Win 95 on my desktop by the way, I sense that may be the problem http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

His web site Requirements section does say:
"Windows 98 or later (may work with Windows 95 or later). "

If you have not done so, drop him a line. Maybe he can help.

BTW, I added a link to MileTracker on my site as well. I hope this helps.

I have just dl'd this program... but the tab for checking balances is greyed out for me.

Does it take a while for it to check your information before it gives you totals?

Send Mike an E-Mail he is very responsive.

Was your internet connection open when you opened the MileTracker ?

Thanks....a great program, I was going CRAZY trying to keep track of accounts for a family of 4.

Thanks dcwcce... yes, the net connection was open. I even rebooted still doesn't work.

I have now sent a quick note off to support help and hopefully it can be worked out. It would be wonderful to have such a program to use.

Up to 18 donations worth $300. You guys are great! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I just wanted to provide a brief update of what my current priorities for MileTracker are:

1) Automatic updates - At a minimum, MileTracker needs to alert a user that updates are available to be downloaded. Since I support so many different sites and those sites change pretty frequently, I really need a better way to get updates out to users.

2) Full activity/transaction details - I'd like to be able to show all of the actual activities/transactions that occurred (i.e. 500 miles for hotel A, 1200 miles for flight B, etc.). Odds are that I will not format this data but I will just grab it from the provider's website and display it the exact same way that they do.

3) More Excel-like features that will make more people want to switch from Excel, such as balance histories (maybe even with charts), notes, etc.

4) Improved promotion tracking and registration. I have not heard much feedback from users on this functionality, but I think that if I improved it and it covered more programs that it would be really useful.

Thanks,
Mike

For anyone else who has emailed me, I apologize if I don't immediately get back to you. There's some days where I'll reply within minutes. Then there are others where I don't get a chance and those emails pile up in inbox limbo for weeks or even months. Don't hesitate to send me multiple emails if you don't get a quick response. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

gpapadop,

I'm not sure what DLL it said was missing, but it's probably an easy fix. Check the bottom of the following link and see if the error message that I list matches yours:

nobody-elite,

Do you mean that the button on the bottom right that says "Check All Balances" is greyed out or that the tab on the top left that says "Balances" is greyed out? If the button is greyed out, it might be because your computer's clock is set to the wrong time (versions of MileTracker automatically expire on certain dates). If that's not the case and you know how to take a screenshot, please send me one.

jimbob: thanks again for your wonderful work on this product.

One question for your about the promos... where do you find them. I'm pretty much on top of all the CO promos, and most people in the CO forum are too, but you had one on there for using AMEX to purchase Int'l tickets that no one had ever seen before.

Do you post the promos that are found via word of mouth (or type), or do you have any dialogue w/ carriers such as NW/CO for that info? I assume it is a post-as-you-find-'em kind of thing.

Also, what do you think of the new AA "user agreement" that effectively admonishes the use of a tool like yours... do you think that is because they realize that they're losing "impressions?" In other words, are they mad because users don't have to go to their site and view their ads and promos to get their mileage, but can use a tool like yours... or worse, go to some other "for fee" service and view ads from travel sites, other carrier's promos, etc...

thanks again!

jimbob...thanks for the reply.

It is the bottom rhs button that is greyed out.

I have both tabs at the top... balances and promotions... The page that is showing up has a grid of my accts that I filled in...but over to the right where it says BALANCE at the top of that page ...under that heading and in the column it says "Never checked"

But I can't check... as the balance check button is greyed out.

my computer is fairly new so the date/time is working fine on it.

Since today MILETRACKER does not work, I get an error like: "Miletracker Version Expired!"

I have the newest release (0.9994b) running.
Anybody else having trouble?

I found this on the website. This explains everything:

Argh. I foolishly forgot that I had set the expiration date on the latest version of MileTracker (0.9994b) to May 15. I also temporarily don't have access to the computer that I develop MileTracker on. Therefore I'm in a bind and I can't get the MileTracker install updated at the moment. I will get a MileTracker update out late on Thursday night or Friday morning that will resolve this issue, but until then if you need to run MileTracker, just set your computer's clock back to anytime before May 15, 2002. I truly apologize for the inconvenience.
