Hi Guys,

I have started working on a career and season record book using Access as a base. Now a few caveats. I am by know means an expert access programmer or an expert programmer of any sorts. The coding is pretty raw but seems to perform pretty well. Also, there a few things that need to be done manually such as entering the location of your league file and such. This would probably be a pre-alpha release if you want to know the stage it is in.

The career record book part is done and am happy with it's output minus a highly detailed formated look. I am getting ready to start working on the season record book with plans to do game record books after that (I need to figure out how to parse the gamelogs)
Also, I am working on getting this into html format so that they could be uploaded to websites. (Another thing that I need to figure out)

I did this because I am a statistics kind of person and wanted to see my stats in a meaningful way outside the realm of the program.

I wanted to put it out there to see if anyone would like to use it but with the understanding that there may be a better way.

Sounds cool! I'll give it a whirl when I get my arena league in full gear.

Open source is a good idea and maybe others like me can learn something in the process [8D]

Sounds cool Tarheel-. Be glad to try it out here.

I thought I could make a fortune off of this program and now you want it open source. Just kidding. Like I said in my previous post I am a stat guy, so I did this for my own benefit and thought somebody else might be able to put it to good use.

I am putting the finishing touches on some formatting issues that access causes. Well, I am blaming Access but I think it is my own illogical thinking.

The first upload will probably include the following:

Career Records
Team Statistics (Basic Form)
Career Records output to html format (Default Access HTML Formatting)
Team Records (By Teamand Season)

Next things on the list:

1)Season Records
2)Finish formatting the team stats pages
3)Thinking of doing a records by team (I have to see how MaxFB treats players that move from one team to the next. I think I know the answer to that and won't be able to do it fully)

For those of you still interested. I will probably post the file over at fbmax.com sometime tonight.

Also, Please note that there is a little user intuitiveness (is that a real word?) that has to be used. It will just come with a basic readme file for instructions. I would like to get this out there to get some user input on what people like or dislike about it.

I have uploaded my Record Book v.1 to fbmax.com. I am not sure of a better place. If there is please let me know.

It works great for me no problems

team vs team stats would be a good addition if that's possible [:)]
