MS Excel

Dear Sailwave group

I’m very new to the program and scoring of races.

I’ve downloaded Sailwave for MAC and its working pretty well.

One issue I seem to get is that when I score a race, it tries to open Excel - it then spits out an error message about unable to connect to excel.

I believe this also affects the results as its clear that people that are scored number one do not have the winning times (First race, same handicap)

Could anybody from the Mac users be of assistance.

Regards

Cornelis

Hi Cornelis - It will only ever need excel if you are doing Personal Handicaps in the External Debug mode. It will not call Excel otherwise.
As this is an advanced feature I guess you are doing the by mistake.

Click on the Scoring system and then select Rating system tab.

As long as you don’t select RYA NHC and don’t click the Excel link box then it will never use Excel.

If you still have an issue please share you Sailwave .blw file and we can see what the problem is.

Jon
