I've got these dialogs when clicked on the launch aurora button. This is in version 0.2 though.
Error in Form Load
Error 3024 was generated by DAO.Workspace
Could not find file 'Stevefire.mdb'.
and...
Error in UpdateGameLog
Error 91 was generated by Aurora
Object variable or With block variable not set
Edit: I'm pretty sure that I've set the install directory properly.
Edit2: I've installed 0.3 and it works now.

Edit3: It seems that some fields are greyed out, I can't click on them and they don't respond to the keyboard shortcuts either.
For instance from the Empires tab these are: System map, battle control window, galactic map, task groups, update sys control.
