Marine Recorder version 4

Marine Recorder version 4 has now been released, and can be downloaded from here.

Marine recorder 3 is still available from here if required

Upgrading
If you are upgrading from version 3.x, you must do a FULL install of the new version (v4), which will then give you options on upgrading data from version 3.
This is because version 4 uses a runtime version of Access 2003, as opposed to Access 97 that v3 used.

IMPORTANT: All existing data volumes (NBNDATA.MDB) should automatically upgrade simply by using them the first time with version 4

You should ensure that you upgrade all elements you are using to version 4 at the same time (e.g. snapshot, merge tool etc)
