Generating HTML reports W/ Cato5

[Sandstorm3]

Do I have to generate the HTML reports after every season?

It is for a fictional solo leage. Can I just update the data base every year or do I have to create the HTML reports?

If you mean the OOTP html files - yes; but only the three files necessary to create the OOTP History files.

If you mean the OOTP History html files - no; as long as you add the OOTP html files as well as the generated *.csv files using CommishJoe's utility to the Access database, then you don't need to create the html files every year. Create the files only when you want output.

I only generate the player pages about once every 5 years but I would suggest atleast generating the team/league pages each year. Mainly because this can cut down a lot of time in future seasons, if you generate the league pages after each season then it will just generate that season, since you can check the box to only generate the current year. However if you don't do this each season then it will generate all the previous seasons, not a big deal the first time you generate the pages but if you have already previous generate 5 season worth of data and then sim another 5 seasons it will re-generate all 10 seasons.

Thanks AngelinOF, sounds like this will save even more time in the long run
