Peter, thanks for the note. I have set up HAL's for Weston, have given it a trial myself and it looks good, I am hoping to use it this weekend. I will send you...
Thank you very much for your kind response. Hope you had a lovely holiday. Will try to update you with any progress we make but so far I am very happy with...
Hi Peter, I would like to use HALs for the Weston Grand Slam at Easter and our other open meetings. We get lots of visitors. Usually we give a person doing...
Terry, I am afraid you have a problem. There is no way to retrieve the password. When I designed the system I took the view that providing a back door to...
Hi Peter, we have used HALs Race Results for the first time for the Weston Grand Slam. The Race Officer and his team were able to input finishing times and...
Hi Winston, The boats included in the printout are controlled from the race schedule page. Go to Administrator / race schedule and check the appropriate ...
Having now re-considered this option it seems to make perfect sense for the yachts racing in our club series. However our club has a dinghy racing program...
You can certainly install a second copy of HAL's Race Results, in fact you can install as many as you like. But you cannot have multiple copies on one ...
Peter, as my previous eMail. We will be using HAL's at Weston in future. The only real problems at the Grand Slam were caused by finger trouble, we had about...
Hi Winston, Very glad that you find the program useful and that Weston SC plans to use it this year. A few comments on your comments, if I may. 1. As far...
I have just added a set of pages to the HAL's Race Results web site that give some guidelines for setting up a system to produce the results for a one-off...
Hi Terry, I am afraid not. You can of course use selection flags to denote the various teams, but the program does not add up the team's scores for you. Team...
Thank you for the prompt response Peter. No problem if it does not. We simply used a spreadsheet but thought I would save myself a bit of trouble if somebody...
Thanks very much for making HALS results free to clubs. It is a great program and once you get the hang of it, extremely easy to use. I just have one problem....
Glad you like HAL's Race Results. Sorry if the adverts don't line up quite right. I have adjusted the layout slightly and added an extra line after the Google...
Please clarify: in the set up page - "sender's email". Is this an email address of the club? We use a generic Club email address which is managed by our...
Hi Terry, You need to put in an email address that will appear as the from address on emails sent to your members telling them that there are new results. The...
Thanks for that - another one which is not obvious after using Mk1 for so long! I used my last 2008 Mk1 archive file to load into Mk2. I saved a copy as...
You can save your data at any time from the Mk.2 program by going to file menu / save as. It works like standard Windows programs such as Word and Excel. The...
Hi Peter, Is there any way around the admin password in HALs? We had a problem with HALs (Mk1) today, because somebody had changed the Admin Password, either...
Hi Winston, If you are talking about Mk.1 then I am afraid there is no way around it. You can only re-install the software, losing all the data since you last ...
Hi Peter, thanks for the note. We started the sesason on Mk1, so we'll stick with it this season. Luckily I had made an archive file when I did so we only lost...
A number of people have contacted me to ask how to archive their data in HAL Mk.2. The answer is to use the "Save as" item on the file menu. HAL Mk.2 works...
I had not realised until I followed the window asking if I wanted to "save" my archive file as a different file that the new MK 2 archive file is read only. I...
Thanks for the comments on the program, which are useful as ever. The more feedback you, and other users, give me the more I can do to improve the program....
