Re: [RC] rm software - Barbara McCraryWhen I was the chair of the ride managers' committee, I revised the RM Handbook. In the back of it I had several pages of suggestions on managing a ride using a database, spreadsheet, and word processor program (I use MS Works). I don't know whether the handbook is still in use or whether it has been revised yet again. I mail ride results to the AERC office in a report form that is identical to the AERC results form. There must be a way that such a report can be sent via e-mail to the AERC office and they can use it without having to re-type it.

But be aware the costs to do so could be quite extensive. Just ask Garret Ford who was instrumental in creating what is currently on line. That statement "it would be real easy" is very easy to write. But the actual production of a program is not. I remember well the many members of AERC who said they could "easily" produce the software we use now, for considerable less than what it cost. But no one ever stepped forward to help. So, that said, being a Director of the AERC and a member of the Technical Committee as well, I solicit any and all offers from volunteers to develop a computer program for reporting ride results better than the Easyrider software.

When you email the results from the Easyrider program, it converts them into a weird looking excel file--so it is not hard to extract the data. A universally distributed program compatible with the office software would be much better, methinks! terre ============================================================ You don't have to be a 100-mile rider or a multi-day rider to be an endurance rider, but if you want to experience the finest challenges our sport has to offer, you need to do both of those. ~ Joe Long ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ Every horse can be taught to walk faster than you think. It is one of the most important qualities of a good riding horse. Some have it naturally, others need to learn. On the other hand, if you are riding a tired horse, an easy jog is more efficient, covers more groumnd with less effort. (it's the rebound effect of the two beat trot) ~ Dot Wiggins ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ There is something really special about getting to ride all day, and all night on your horse. I know that a lot of people like to get finished, and get it over with. Yes, it is a lot of work. But, realize that each ride, especially a 100 is a really special gift and savor it for all it is worth. ~ Karen Chaton ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
