Hi Guys,

I have developed a little spreadsheet application that is able to put bets on with a click of a button in Excel. It is very, very fast and is turning out to be very useful in the closing seconds of a race for putting bets on.

The dilemna I have is that although I can put on Win, Place and E/W bets without a problem, I simplay cannot work out the format of the string for trifectas into the csv file that is then read by the Netbet Pro application when it is in File Mode.

I would be immensely grateful if someone could expalin the structure of the bet string as it is read by Netbet Pro for trifecta races. I.e. what the layout would look like in a csv file, I can work it out from there. I figure if anyone has another piece of software that generates the csv file for exotics, it would make my day.

Thanks for everything. I really enjoy reading and testing your systems....this place certainly throws up some odd but profitable ones.

Regards,

If you know the format but have a problem creating the string in VBA post what you are now, that is your line with the string creation proccess.
