Hi all! Seems like every year at this time, I've had to put out a frantic plea for help because my race database broke at the last minute. This year, things are going great! I'm not having to use my Access db except as a backup. The guy who wrote the program for the checkpoints to communicate via ham radio to the net control, has tweaked his program to be able to upload to the web server. So, all I had to do was tweak the web pages to include the uploaded data. Hooray! Means I can get some breaks and don't have to be under the stress of past years. And best of all, it's getting updated every five minutes. Check it out - the "last seen" is condensed for me to print out here at the finish line so that the people here can keep track of their runner: http://ac100.com/finish/lastseen.shtml And if you click on either of the Splits menu, you can see the entire list with all the checkpoint times. So, even though I'm not using my program anymore (except as the backup I mentioned), it's been a wonder experience through the years with "you all" helping me tweak it. -- Kathryn Bassett (Pasadena CA) kathryn at bassett.net http://www.ac100.com/finish/ Personal site - http://bassett.net
