GO Handiman!
This can't be emphasized enough.

What Handiman has overcome recently is astounding.

Having trouble loading Remington Park. Does it go by a different file name? What parks can run on this program?

I really like your idea of an auto mode that will find races in the database similar to the race currently being handicapped and automatically build an appropriate factor set. I think the neat trick in doing this is using the database to find the best factor set for each type of race without heavily engaging in the dubious concept of back fitting.

And I agree that adding color to the software to improve it's bland look would be a worthwhile improvement. I often spend so much time looking at the software that I'm sure a more attractive look would be easier on my eyes and just simply make the user feel better. That's my two cents anyway.

I'm wondering if your plans for Handifast Version 13 Platinum might allow users to quickly test their favorite analysts with all the race cards in the database? I assume that would require a ton of fairly high level programming so I understand if it's unrealistic.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Sorry. Been very busy and haven't felt too good lately also. When I get to the point I start working on the Platinum version I will consider your question. Just don't have an answer right now.

Sorry you haven't been feeling too good lately. I hope you're getting plenty of rest and nutrition especially in these unhealthy times. Diluted organic apple cider vinegar can work wonders.

Runtime Error

I'm getting an error msg. when ever v12 crashes as stated below. When I enter a specific date it will find all my tracks and will only load 1 track that I didn't select i.e. selected FLX and it will only load BEL and will do this every time I want to change track selections. Once it fails out I get this error:

Any fix for this or has anyone encountered this error? Thank you for any assistance on this error msg.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. It appears that you are trying to select a track that has not been downloaded into the software.

What does the date look like you are entering?
Did you follow the videos when setting up and running program?

Version 13

I was hoping to get Version 13 done by Christmas but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Couple of things. I am having trouble with some of the new code. Taking me a lot to switch it over to new language to make it faster and more powerful. Secondly, I have received a commissioned project that someone wanted done. Have to go with the money when this happens, so that has set me back a bit.

Almost done with the commissioned project. When I do, I will hop on Handifast ver 13 and try and get it done a fast as I can.

You want the single file. Not the multi files.

You can get that in pill form--no taste at all. 1700mg's each capsule. Says take 3 a day, but I just take one.

Hang in there, Handi
