Chris,
re: access denied. Try 1.58 if you're using it. It fixes a few problems
with 1.57 and I think that was one of them...

Subject: RE: [sailwave] New UserIt helps a lot, Mike, thanks. And I think I'll do as you suggest
and "play"
a little. What we did for the forced first place was put my time in as 10
minutes -- quick four-mile race doncha think? Ha! But that
forced my first
place as a reward for working race committee. I do agree it's a slick
program -- I'll catch on. Thanks for your quick response!Oh, and the Excel spreadsheet thing. I saved my PHRF numbers as a .csv
file as instructed, but when I tried to import it, I got an error message
saying "access denied." So I entered them manually, which was fine with
only 12 boats in so far. Will be a pain as we begin to reach the 35-40 we
normally have by mid-summer! Ah, well.Thanks again.

Subject: RE: [sailwave] New UserChris
see comments below - I have assumed that you have used the New
Series button
(same toolbar as Save) to set up the series and entered your competitors
using the New button:Is there such a thing as an actual user manual? No, just the FAQ list at
http://www.sailwave.com/index.php?page=library where there is
lots of useful
info.I have the first race participants entered for our Wednesday night spring
series; however, I can't seem to enter each boat's PHRF
rating into the program. Where and how do I do this? >> double
click on any
of the cells relating to the competitor in question (not under the race
columns) and enter the rating. Alternatively you could convert your Excel
SS to a .csv file in the Ratings folder - see the above link for the
required format etc. - then you should be able to pull up the
rating in the
Default Rating drop down menu. You can also enter the rating on a race by
race basis - click on the relevant cell in the race column for the race in
question.I have each boat's PHRF rating on an Excel spreadsheet. I've entered the
actual elapsed times for each boat; does the software calculate the
corrected time? How? >> Use the Score button, or Score Fleets
if you have
more than one start - the start times and other race properties can be set
up by right clicking the race column heading and Edit RaceI see where it can rank all the boats per race; however, here's a
tough one!
Each crew that volunteers to work race committee gets a
first place for that race. When I tried to sort with actual times plus my
first place, I got an error message stating that I couldn't sort with both
types of rankings in the column. How am I going to put each
volunteer boat
in first place for that night? >> use the Scoring System button to get to
the Scoring Codes, then set up a new code e.g. VOL which has a fixed score
of '1'. When you enter that 'competitor's' results, tick the Code box and
select your VOL code. Easy!Hope you get to like Sailwave - having struggled with monolithic Excel
sheets for years it came as a true breath of fresh air. It is very deep
though - I'd encourage you to sit a play with an example file - just push
all the buttons and explore!
It also fits on a floppy disc and will run fine on an ancient Pentium
laptop.......Hope this helps
