Hi All,
I have just down loaded the U-Bet unattended betting software.
But I am having trouble writing scores sheets and importing them into U-Bet?.
I created an Excel 97 CSV file and tried to import it in to U-Bet.
Even though I copied and pasted it in to the U-Bet folder, the program says no such file exists?
I have written so many queries to Nick Aubrey for assistance, he no longer answers my emails?.
I have mastered the other elementary tasks associated with the program, except importing ratings-- which are called scores in U-Bet.
Can some kind soul who has mastered U-Bet please help?
Regards, Robert

Not that I've used that feature, but.

I can't find an Import Scores function.

But there is an Add Scores control on BOTTOM LEFT of the screen.

Sure you haven't confused Add Scores with Import Rules?

Your inappropriate Copy and Paste gestures are suspicious. Why didn't you Save File As or move it?

And why move it at all?

The Select Score File lets you navigate to whatever directory you created your Scores File in.

If you do that you should see your file in the file list Box then the Import should also find it.

If not then maybe your file name is wrong - e.g. score.csv.csv

Hi JFC,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried to do what you said by using the add scores button, but it only crashed the U-Bet program.
So I copied and pasted the file in to the U-Bet folder.
When I typed the name of the file in the add scores box, it found it.
But it had it named Score.csv.xls .
Now in Excel it did not have the extra .xls on the end?.
So I do not know what is going on?.
I have never created a CSV file before, but all I did was save it as " Score.CSV "
As I have the public version (2006) I can not get the IAS prices in to my version of U-Bet, so I thought I would try to import the score for one race with the IAS openers.
So far I have not been able to import the scores into U-Bet successfully.

You probably are saving it as "Microsoft Excel WorkBook".

When you probably should be saving it as "CSV "

Look at the "Save as type" in your Excel drop-down.

It's a fair bet we have different Excels for a start so try to figure out what the translation changes need to be.

You need to end up with Score.csv

Score.csv.xls is a workbook name.

Crashes? Join the club.

Hi JFC,
Thanks again for your reply.
Yes you were correct.
I was not saving the file properly.
One has to choose the correct option at the bottom of the save window.
So I chose the " comma delimited CSV ", and that did it.
As I said, I have never saved a file in CSV format before, I have never needed to.
But I still have problems, the error said that I could not use the " change me "
so I changed that, then the error said that the " change me " was missing ".
plus other errors which I can not remember at this point.
And it corrupted the race, which I could not load.
So I closed the U-Bet program and went into the U-Bet database and deleted all today's races.
I was unable to delete the scores for today from the database?.
The program seems to be working o.k. now.
But of course without me loading the scores.
Another problem I have with U-Bet is I have to keep re launching the program to get it to start getting the " Race TAB Live " data which is always the last and the most difficult to get.
Is your version the public (2006) version?.
If it is then at least we are talking about the same version.
Regards, Robert

Robert,

I have U-Bet 3.0 Build 3.0.2.0

But I don't use it.

And since it just took me 2 hours to recover from the crash it caused when I tried to look at your problem, I don't plan to go anywhere near it again for a very long time.

So I am not in a position to attempt to answer anything else about it.

Hi JFC,
Thanks for your last reply.
Sorry to find out you had a bad crash problem.
I too have had crash problems where I have had to resort to the old " control- alt-delete to close the task, as U-Bet went into a cascade of small windows.

I appreciate your help so far, I was able to load the score in to U-Bet with all the columns, which never happened before, except it had two columns which were not needed, the country code and the galloping columns.
I think this may have been causing the errors I had, and these two columns should have been zeroed out if this is possible?.

Once again thanks very much for your help.
Regards, Robert
