That is the tough part -- "the devil's in the details." I've written such programs, "front ends" that let people key information into a local database on their PC, which was later uploaded electronically to a master database. I can assure you that it isn't nearly as easy as it sounds, especially if you want the results error-free. And to write one would require the assitance of the folks who maintain the AERC office database, both in providing specifications and in testing. It would be a boon to the office, though, if we could get it, along with a "front end" program that was good enough, fast enough and flexible enough that most ride managers would want to use it. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com ============================================================ There must be a full understanding between the horse and rider for entry into the top competition brackets. There must be a confidence established that the desired position is attainable. There must be a caring for the horse, on the part of the owner, so as to not exceed the physical limits in the heat of competition. There must be a well planned training program that will result in the necessary equine attributes. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
