Meet Process

For setting up the meet, first enter the TEAM and the TEAMNAME.  Make sure you get the team name right because you don't want to change it after you start doing meets.  Then, you first need to enter your members (names, ages, birthdates, etc...) making sure you get the ages and the sex right.  Next, go to the EVENTS and setup all your events starting with 001 for the first event and going to the last event of a meet.
 
Now, your almost set.  Just do the REBUILD BESTTIMES and then look at the BESTTIMES and you'll see a large set of your membership with one row for each member for each event they are entered.  This will end up matching the deck cards and the ribbon labels later.
 
Now, setup a MEET and the SELECT the meet then go to the MEET | CREATE RESULTS.  This will create the records needed for creating the DECK CARDS.  So, next go to the next selection SEED MEET (if you want the software to put the heat and lane in the deck card), then PRINT DECK CARDS and you''ll have these.  Then after the meet you enter the RESULTS and the PRINT RIBBONS.
 
Now your ready for the next meet and start over again with the previous paragraph.  I would play with the SAMPLE.MDB file until you get the hang of the loop.  Just remember that the EVENTS are merged with the MEMBERS to create the BESTTIMES.  The BESTTIMES are merged with the MEET to create the RESULTS that is used for creating the DECK CARDS that is used to enter the RESULTS.  Then you print the LABELS from the RESULTS and UPDATE the TIMES you entered into the RESULTS back into the BESTTIMES.
