Racecensus Horseracing database has been updated to Jan 31st 2010.

The update is downloadable which means any saved finds are saved and not overwritten.

The download address is:

http://racecensus.gotdns.com/2010.rar

It is 5.35MB in size.

You will need to email me for a password for the rar file.
It contains a spreadsheet to import directly into the database.

Updating instructions are fairly straightforward.

1. Download the .rar file and unzip it to your desktop.
You need to enter the password for it to extract to a folder on your desktop.
(Winrar is free to download.)

2. Start up Racecensus and wait for it to enter find mode.
Put RaceCensus into Browse mode by selecting browse in the bottom left hand side of the main window.

3. Select File -> Import Records -> File (from the file menu at the top left hand menu.
Browse for the 2010.xls file on your desktop in the 2010 folder.

Select Open.

A little window will pop up called Specify Excel Data.
The display worksheets radio button should already be selected and show all records should be already highlighted, so select continue.

4. This is the only step you have to be careful with.
An Import Field Mapping box will pop up.

Make sure that the target is Current Table ("RaceCensus.")

Change Arrange by: to matching names.

Import action radio button should be set to Add new records.

Don't import first record should be ticked.

Click the import button and RaceCensus will begin importing updated data.
This will take some time as there is a lot of data.
RaceCensus is not hanging, it is importing and indexing everything.
It will start counting down the number of records left to import.

The hourglass signifies that it is busy importing.

The reason it takes a while to import, is for faster query time later.
Time spent impoting now, means faster future searches!

After it's finished you'll be given an import summary and just hit o.k.

Your database is now updated to 38,466 Metropolitan races.
