Thanks for the replies. I did try to compile by its self and still no go.

The Main Folder name(on my desktop currently) is "The Winner System". Inside that folder is the Program(app) and a folder called "tracks" that have the text files.

I just got a Macbook Pro and switched from windows and I have a stand alone issue?? THis is some code to pull data from text files in a folder called "Tracks" and it works in developer mode in Mac and PC but when I "Compile" it, the mac version cant find the data but the windows standalone works fin...

A couple of years ago I asked this question and no solution. I see that there are a lot of PDF to TEXT, DOC, XLS...etc. on the market recently and am thinking this can be done now. I need to download PDF and convert it to text and use the data. I am using one of the third party apps to do it but its...

Thanks Mark,

Did not think of groups in groups. Makes sense. I will give it a try and see what happens. If it works I will let everyone know.

Take care

Mark, Sorry that I wasnt clear. Let me see if this helps. My terminology might be off. If you goto this link http://www.culturedcode.com/things/ and look at the tasks that the example shows. Each task is in a small rectangular square but when you get to task "Tune Up Car" its is 3 or 4 times the siz...

I am looking to write an app like the one in the link below. Theres is nice but i need to make it for my company intranet and use custom things we use. I like the drop down windows for lack of better term. I see this in a lot of mac programs but will need to make it happen for PC. If you look at the...

Thanks so much.

Klaus, Thanks for the quick reply. I do have a On Opencard in the main stack but it does not have any effect on the other substacks just this one. I would be more than happy to send you the files. You wont be able to run them because it calls out to an external program to get the data but you can se...

I have been programming in rev for 3 years now and have not run into this problem??? I have "Result" stack that just displays..well...results of calcs from other cards that I put here for the user to review. There is only 2 buttons on the stack that allow the user to go to next card or prev card and...

WOW. Thank you so much for the reply. This forum is awesome. I would like it to reprosent when the horse is located i.e. horse 1 in front of horse 2 and so forth. If horse 1 is 10 lenghts faster it would show him with a large lead and then horse 2 would fall into place behind and if horse 3 was tied...

Thanks for the reply but I dont want to simulate the race just have say 8 squares with different colors in them with the number of the horse at each turn. So I would have 8 blocks at the break and at the first turn and back turn. the blocks would represent where the horse "should" be at that turn. i...

I have completed a project for a friend that included statistical data for horse racing. He has now asked if it is possible to draw a chart that would show potential positions at the 4 turns on the track. What he would like to do is have a graphic of the track, just a simple 2 ovals to represnt it a...

When I watch the Video of new features, it demonstated that you would be able to click on a handler or function in one script and it would open up the script that has it in it. When I try it, nothing happens unless its in the same script. Am I doning something wrong? Is there a preference setting I ...

I am sorry, but I have no clue what this code is???

I have 20 Fields on each card and would need to move them in there exact position. It is a layout.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Mike
