Tool Tips & F2

Imported from Yahoo

Hi Colin

Could you have a look at the display when pressing F2 for the tool tips.
In lots of cases, the display window is fine but where there are lots of tips, it is very difficult
to work out which tip relates to which action.

The scoring systems is probably the worst & even if I print a copy F2, it is still difficult.
Instead of describing the type of entry method, it might be better to refer to the label

Also, with the scoring systems having multiple tabs, it would be useful to group the tips by tab or
even better, have a display window for each tab

Regards
Ralph

Colin,

I’m using aliases in a number of configurations, particularly to handle results for boats entered in series under both PY and IRC handicaps. There are times when I need to exclude a result from one race under an alias (say under IRC) but not under the main entry for the same race (maybe PY). This doesn’t seem to be possible, or am I missing something.

Thanks,

Andy.

Hi Andy, the exclude field is like fleet, calss etc, so the alias inherits it from the aliased comeptitor like the other field. The implicaiton is that an alias needs the capability of saying ‘dont inherit this field - keep it local’…
