Wow, lots of talk about me around here! Thanks for the positive comments about my program. I have good news and bad news. Good news first, since the bad isn't really that bad.

As mentioned my program was a little difficult to use. I've made some sweeping changes that make it alot easier. For example, it is now an honest-to-goodness program and not just an Access database. It still uses an Access database, but the program will install the necessary drivers if you don't have Access.

Second, it will now read OOTP generated HTML files to get All-Star players and team stats instead of manually entering them. You still have to enter the Award winners, but that's only 6 names, plus you have to manually enter Gold Glove winners anyway.

Third, the HOF screen now allows you to view a player's career stats as well as induct them in to the Hall.

Okay, now the bad news. First, not really that bad, but you still need to use CSVReporter to make each team data file. I played around with using ORG, but it doesn't export post-season stats, so I shelved that update until ORG has that. Once you get use to doing it, only takes about 1 minute per team, so that's not so bad.

The really bad news, though, is that this would've been available weeks ago if I hadn't signed up with such crappy web hosting company. I've been waiting for them to get their act together, but appearantly, they aren't going to. So as soon as I decide on another cheap, but reliable host, I'll post it so a few people can test it out before releasing it to all.

Oh, this is kind of bad, too. For those using the older version, you'll have to start over again since the database is now based on Access 2000 instead of 97. Plus there has been numerous changes to the db structure.

Anyway, those interested in testing it, let me know. I'd perfer people that are already using it, since you are familiar with it already.

Thanks!
