What version of the game do you have?
Editor supports only the latest version (Civ3 conquest + patch 1.22 IIRC)

Hmm, hang on a moment. I was poking around in the expanded editor and noticed that if I refreshed the lists for a particular tab, the correct information for a given mod would be displayed. I'm going to see if it'll let me edit and save changes properly after doing that...
No, it displays the various entities in each category, but their data is all out of whack. Every building has all the checkboxes selected, and requires 50 armies, etc. It displays an error message about an unhandled exception whenever I refresh the lists.

There must be a limitation on size or whatever for the scenario files this editor is able to load. If I open the conquest.biq after re-saving and enabling rules editing in the scenario folder, it opens fine. If i make a few changes and use the 1.3 editor, it opens that file fine (curious, if I use 1.0 editor, I got unhandled exception errors, but if I resaved with 1.3 Stephs editor opened it, but my tests are no means complete).
If I try to open something like Civinator's CCM1.7biq re-saving 1.0 /1.3 , no resaving, (ie whatever I seem to do,) it gets an unhandled exception error:
length cannot be less than zero

There is no limitation in size for scenarios. My own scenario has thousands of units in it, much bigger than standard one.
Email me the file you can't open at stephane.f.david@free.fr so I can tell you where the problem is.

Found a bug when I was updating my submarines:
When you add targets for stealth attack using the "add from filter" option, everything seems to work. When you try to "remove from filter" afterwards, the resources list is gone and replaced by the era list. Some other options are messed up as well.

Steph, I recently upgraded to Win7 and have since not been able to use your editor. I have verified that the 3.5 .NET Framework is installed correctly and have tried using compressed and uncompressed files (though I know the current version is supposed to support both). I can't seem to figure out why but every time I try and open any file this happens:
If I choose to continue it will just happen again when I try to edit something. Any thoughts?
Spoiler :

I haven't touch the editor for months now. At the time this error was usually due to a wrong version of the framework.

Yeah that's what I thought too, ok thanks anyway. If I manage to figure it out I'll edit this post in case others come across the same problem.
Some other options ??? Scares the heck out of me.
Whatever has been done without one knowing.
Please clarify that stealth issue, since I use this much.
Is the problem only if one uses filters, or what ?
Are you using Windows 7 64-bit? I receive a similar error when trying to load a BIQ in version 0.82 on 64-bit Windows, but with the version Steph links to in this post, it works great on 64-bit.
Steph, is there any chance of putting a link to that version in the first post or on your web page? Even if it isn't polished enough to be 0.83, I think it solves enough problems that it deserves to be more visible than it is now.
Nothing weird at all -- on a parallel note, I'd love to be able to upgrade cavalry to helos.

@Oz: isn't that what happens for DyP and RaR mods? Perhaps you mean naval helos?
I haven't played those in a very long time -- land units upgrade to air units??
Thanks,

They aren't "real" air units as they have no (over) water movement.
Oh yes they do, the epic game's air units all have the Immobile flag checked, and the only AI strategy ever developed was for them to be used as based bombers, but if you uncheck the flag you can use them to move across both land and water.
