INITIAL ERROR REPORT:
-----------------------------
on 8th of march 3000 (campaign year 0) - (3:20 AM), tried to advance time, and got:
Error in OrbitalMovement
Error 3159 was generated by DAO.Recordset
Not a valid bookmark.

Error 3020 was generated by DAO.Field
Update or CAnelUpdate without AddNew or Edit.
(cycles through 3159, 2*3020 a few times)
Then a bunch of Error 3420 (Object invalid or no longer set) - gets stuck looping there AFAICT
--------------------
TROUBLESHOOTING #1:
killed (through windows task manager) aurora, and successfully reloaded.
The db seems to load o.k. but same errors when I try to advance time.
--------------------
TROUBLESHOOTING #2:
killed (through windows task manager) aurora, and successfully reloaded.
I also get a similar set of looping errors when:
(a) change to the "SM" race (which knows about a few systems the player race doesn't)
(b) try to open system view (f9) or galactic map (F11)
I suspect the problem is in one of the systems the SM race knows about.
--------------------
TROUBLESHOOTING #3:
I then (killed in windows, and reloaded again), and changed race to the player race, and went to one of my systems & tried to link that systems using SM mode, to system 111 (one of the 2 systems the SM race only knows about), I got, again, a similar series of looping errors.
Now when I try to reload, and go to F-11, same 3159 errors occur
I have this stevefire.mdb for this (from before Troubleshooting#1,2,3), (as well as another copy of showing the 3343 error reported previously) saved as backup copies, in case you need them.
It has been a hard weekend in the galaxy
