When entering results via the Sail Number Wizard and adding more results we have some odd behavior as follows:
One PC displays the last position number (the highest number previously entered) which means I have to hit delete, delete for a two digit number before typing the new position. On another PC that same number will already be highlighted so I just type in the new position without having to hit delete. Both machines have Windows XP-Pro, fully updated, same versions of Office etc. I cannot find any way of forcing the number to be the focus (highlighted).
Linked to this, our races cover multiple classes and say the first class has 12 boats so the Wizard gets up to 12 and the next position would be 13th. I then start to enter a new class and want to be able to reset the number to 1 so it starts the sequence again, 1, 2, 3 etc.. How?
Are you going to Edit Race and setting up your fleets or classes? Go
to Edit Race, click on Race 1 and set up your Fleets/Classes and
each one will have a different start. Then populate to the number
of races, ie Copy Starts. You should find that your recorders can
now enter finishers as a sequence of sail numbers regardless of
Fleet. SW will sort the numbers into the correct Fleet and give the
correct finishing position. Is this what you want?
Very handy when different Fleets finish together. Unless, as I have
just had this weekend, identical sail numbers in different Fleets.
Fun.
