But will try. So we shall see. I am right now trying to get a couple bugs fixed and adding an analyst view/change feature. That's turning out to be the hard part....right now, but I'm sure I will get it done. Then I'll release version 9.1

Looks like we will have a user group. I have to speak with PA first.

Sounds great Handi...

Just one question....Are you having fun doing this?

Mike

Yes I am. I'm afraid also, that if I don't keep my mind stimulated, I could become a candidate for Dementia or Alzheimers. I have heard quite a few times, that retirees that don't use their mind are more likely to suffer from these conditions.

Handi...

Can I ask you how you perceive this database to work like?

Maybe it can be discussed and you can do it once and have not to
do adjustments to it later on..

Just a thought

Mike

I'm now thinking about my future and maybe losing my mind...LOL

I haven't decided about the database. I have spoken to a couple of guys and it's going to be a tremendous amount of work. The really hard part is accessing the data. I'm talking about the code that has to be done.

I'm not a programmer , so this is off the top of my head...

there are 2 files needed to get a complete line on a horse for the days race..
a DRF/JCP and the XRD...
If you can produce a CSV file , just let the user do whatever he wants with it.
I know Raybo has mapped the files with his work and I guess you know some others( including The Monster)....so maybe doing something simple can work...
