Hi Gary, I joined this forum on Day 1, but have never had a need for the software until now. Now I want it, it looks as if it cannot be run properly on my machines. One is at the equivalent of 1280 X 1024, with 120DPI characters. The other is at even higher resolution. One problem is that some characters are too big to fit into their boxes. I can live with this, because I can see what the characters are.
But I have a worse problem. The Bets Manager seems to be locked at a certain height below the top of the window, instead of floating at the bottom of the window. Even with the full height I can allow the window, the Bets Manager is partially chopped off. The situation is made worse by the fact that the Windows XP Task Bar is two rows on this machine (it is three on the other!) I believe Betfair originally had the same sort of problems but they fixed them by some variable sizing mechanism.
The particular function I am looking for at the moment is one-click placement of lay bets in-running, at a pre-set odds. The Betting Assistant does this well by the look of it, but maybe there is something else you can recommend, rather than even contemplating changing your software to suit me - I presume everyone else is happy. I see that you have Betfair scripts on your site that look as if they would do what I need in Firefox, I'll give those a go. But if I find that I can do without the Bets Manager I may come back anyway, because your Excel interface is giving me ideas... Many thanks.
