Hi!
Did you go as far as creating a new database and a new table in the database?
Where do you intend to get your results from? Type it in?
Also, what kind of info do you want to keep? Like date racenumber, venue, winning horses name or just the TAB number, win_div place_div? Are you intersted in keeping the results of the exotics as well, what about the win and place pools etc.
These are the things you have to work out first.
But typing it in is a tedious process.

Have a look at these sample tables , one is for win place results the other is for the exotics. (here they are converted to excel files for easier access)
There are reasons for keeping them in separate tables but not essential.
If you get off the ground I would be happy to supply you with some past results to get you started, free of course.
Cheers
