Ya I’d like to see the results, but I honestly don't care if it takes 3 more weeks. I’m stoked to find a safe recreational outlet for driving. I'm stoked its so affordable, which is only due to volunteer work. Which I am very thankful for.
I find I work best when I start at the start and attempt to feel out the whole problem, (i.e. get what ever raw data it starts as and think of how to get to the end result) which was my goal here, I was hoping someone would just say "here's the raw data, take a look "
But Apparently this is a very sensitive toe I was about to Drive over, you could have saved a lot of typing (and a few unintentional jabs at your ego) by putting something like "This is a bit of a pet project of Mine, thanks for the offer, but no thanks"
and if its easier for you to accept, Okay its impossible And Cost prohibitive to integrate a DB with your system.

Alex, you just don't get it... Nobody wants to do this, and it's nobody's pet project. We hate the software, and the fact that it makes us jump through rediculous hoops.
What we are trying to say is walk before you run. The reason this software sucks so bad is that Vitek, the guy who wrote did a lot of things similar to what you are describing, and didn't think about the ramifications.
The data from a couple last year events are attached... Knock yourself out... But don't ask us for any context, or help understanding the issues, because that's not how you roll...
Use Windows Jet DBs, they are free. Don't forget to assume that the data for the next event will be completely different.
I was young, and knew everything once too....
Enjoy...
