Any tips or pointers would be helpful to me!

I remember now, I had to make the PDF in the Patrol Report generator download more user friendly, so I provided step by step pictures. I was getting swamped with questions and the pictures solved that - 'one picture is worth a thousand words : )
Here you go:

The following files are used:
SHReport.ini – this is a file that the program generates, if it doesn’t exit’s – the sole purpose is to save the information of the users command name and suborn number + the last patrol area.
Replayinfo.rep this file saves the name of the mission (the name you save the game under in SH4), it is used to generate the list to choose the report from.
ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc - the name of the boat is saved here.
SaveData.clg – the ships that have been sunk are saved her with date time and location. This is where the actual information is located.
SaveData.crp – many crew remarks are saved her – the last entry date is used to generate the date of the report. The Torpedo firing data is taken from the crew remarks (ex. "Firing tube 2, sir!")
GamePlaySettings.cfg – the information of the level of realism is saved here – the program adds the % of each feature to make up the setting% = the JANAC %.

If someone wants Start Patrol & End Patrol dates, as soon as you're dropped on your boat from the Office, make a command or ask for a weather report if your install has that option. Be sure to Save at the end of your patrol with a name like Patrol End, then end your patrol. Use this Patrol End save for the report tool to use. Use your regular patrol end patrol save for your career.
Hope this helps, Welcome to Subsim!
