Need info on new R3 Release's Database

[Magnum357]

Before R3 came out, I was working on a utility to adjust the range brakets of the player ratings when they are generated by Draft or Random selection. After looking at the new Database files, lots of things have changed from the previous databases and I can't seem to find the Feilds that contained the data that controled this. Before they were in the datacontants.mdb file, but I have new clue where they are now.

Anybody have any info on this?

David has moved some of the constants into a text file called constants.dat but that doesn't contain the skill ranges.
I just had a look at my maindata.mdb and it seems to contain a table called
SkillAttribute_Ranges which has those settings (but not tried altering them)

Are you sure?  I tried looking in maindata.mdb file and at that particular Table, but could not find the Player Rating Brackets like before.  I don't have Microsoft Access 2000 but I can look at some of this stuff through the Visual Basic 6 IDE but I'm having little success trying to find these Rating Brackets.  [:(]

That's weird.
I've double checked & the table is definitely in my maindata file.
Can also see the values if I open the file using notepad (did a search on QB).
Don't have the IDE on my MF machine so can't check.
I'm wondering if this is something to do with a difference in installations but I thought DW said in another thread that the maindata file was replaced as part of the install then updated.

Maybe the table only gets created when you reset a league or start a season for the 1st time? Dunno, just guessing

I double checked the maindata.mdb file and you are right, the Player Ratings Ranges are indeed in that table.  Guess I just over looked it or something.  [8|]  Thanks for the help.

Glad to hear you got it sorted.
