Verify tables and fields when opening database
The database is checked to verify that all the tables and fields in tables are present when the opened.
Do not delete Laneslips table used by reports
The Laneslips table is used by most of the reports.  This table is normally deleted when the reports are closed.  This will keep the table so that you can use Access 2000 to produce other reports, if needed.
Allow changing seed times in Best Times
The seed times are automatically calculated from past results of meets completed.  This will allow you to override these seed values.  Be aware that rebuilding best times will overwrite these overrides.
Allow changing of default values
The default values are found on the "Edit | Defaults" if this is set on.
Opening picture...
The background of WinSwim can be changed to any valid picture file (i.e. jpg, gif, bmp).
Reset defaults to original settings
The options are reset to default values.

 

Sort Order

Deck cards and labels are sorted by specifying the fields.  A normal way to sort would be to add the <event> and then the <name>.
   

Grid Control

The way the grid controls are viewed can be changed by this dialog.
   

 

Conversion

The age of a swimmer is determined based upon the age of the swimmer at the date specified.

The Time Standards is used to set if the times in BestTimes are in Meter or Yard times.

If both, "Disable meter/yard time conversion adjustments" and "Disable altitude time adjustments" are disabled, no time conversions are made between yard and meter times.

   

Internet

This is the URL to the location for the documentation on the Internet for WinSwim.
