excel and trigger betting

[stan]

Hi all, new here, so maybe a stupid question!

I am using the sample excel spreadsheet to trigger lay certain horses at certain prices. I have followed all instructions, and I think it is working, but do I have to have excel open on my pc, or can I save it and close it and the assistant will still find the spreadsheet

cheers

If Excel is not open then you can use the browse button at the top of the Excel link form. Navigate to the file and click open and it will open the workbook for you. Obviously this will open Excel. You cannot actually have it linked to the workbook without having Excel open.

thanks Gary, I thought so!

1 more probably stupid question, I have entered the horse name as per instructions, LAY, prices and the time, but not put in a race time, I assume this isnt needed?

No. It moves through the markets, opening each market just before the start and if there are matching names it triggers the bets. This will only work if you have followed the instructions here http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/Excel/E ... etting.htm

Hi Gary, followed it to the letter!

part 6 I think you have updated that bit on the bot, so I just ticked what the instructions said and left the additions as they were

so I dont have to click anything like start, it will just do it

fingers crossed

Hi Gary, I am obviously doing something wrong here, it still won't trigger the bets.

all settings are as per instructions, only thing i can think is i am using excel 97, is it too old?

I don't recommend using Excel 97, we don't support that version. Email a copy of the spreadsheet to admin@gruss-software.co.uk and I will check if I can see anything obviously wrong with the way you entered the selections, but I fear it's probably your Excel version.
