I've tried starting from scratch many times with different checkboxes but it never works out.

My screenshots were posted before JJ told me to put the cards in from 1-30 rather than 30-1.

Thanks for your effort to help.

Just a couple more thoughts. When you load program be sure to click "load macros" then click "do not update.


Also zipped files and unzipped files can not be in the same folder.


I run excel 2003, maybe 2010 in uncompatable.



If you have some kind of chat program maybe I can help you.

Thanks rosenowsr, I appreciate the attempt to help.

I've basically given up on figuring out how to use AllDataRS. It just seems too buggy or incompatible with Excel 2010.

Seems like a shame though since it's an intriguing program. I never got to see All-Record work even once.

At times like this I'm glad I have Handifast. It's not the best program out there by any stretch of the imagination, but at least using Handifast doesn't require a degree in computer engineering.

Clarification

I'd like to clarify my perspective on the All Data RS software.

My previous post was written when I was frustrated with my insufficient patience. In some areas of life I'm incredibly patient but in other areas of life my patience is grossly insufficient at times. I regret not having waited until I calmed down and introspected on the nature of my frustration before writing the previous post.

I also regret mentioning Handifast in the previous post in a manner that lacked positivity. My mention of HF doesn't reflect my true feelings of respect for the software and for all the difficult work many people put into the creation of Handifast.

In my humble opinion, All Data RS is great handicapping software. I have deep respect for the late Raybo for having created such an incredibly useful handicapping tool. I sincerely consider myself fortunate to have All Data RS.

Live and learn.

Alldata RS was a proprietary program developed by Ray Baker

He sold a limited amount to keep it under control.

Upon his death , everything he owned went into his Estate.

It is a violation to sell or buy his program after Sept 6 , 2018.

So congrats to the 2 axxholes involved in that transaction.

It's also a violation to distribute past performance data unless you are an authorized Equibase partner. But you don't care much about that...so why do you care about this form of copyright infringement?

Didn't even come close to insinuating such a thing...but it's curious how much you just bristled defensively.

AllData and blackbox spreadsheets

Hello to all

Some time ago I downloaded the spreadsheet from their site, I was not able to run it but had all intentions to use it, I am greyhound racing handicapper, i use mostly spredsheets to do my handicapping. Recently I wanted to try horse racing, and went back to the site to download the sheet again since i lost the file due to system crash.



Unfortunately Ray, the developer passed away so I was not able to chat with him and get the sheets, I downloaded some material but I am not sure if that is the most updated version, also not quite sure how to feed the data.


Does anyone here use it? does it still work?



If so could you kindly assist me?


Regards

FYI



I just went to Alldata site and downloaded all the programs....

Unfortunately , All the programs have been rendered useless because a number of required sheets have been deleted.

I dont know if this was done legally or illegally....

I will try to find out....

It is despicable if someone here did something to get rid of another valuable asset for horse players because it was "free"....

The first picture is the full working program with all sheets( look at bottom)

The second one is missing a number of sheets...
