Hi Keith, It sounds like you found somewhere my trivia2.zip file. That was the dos version with files such as cars.trv. The windows version uses files with the tgf file extension. So I would recommend that you install my wintriv2.exe file. The wintriv2.exe file can be found on my free

Hi Ken, I'm not positive how you have the variables set up, but if it is like score(x) and the corresponding player names are in player$(x) then the code could be. For sort1 = 1 To nop - 1 For sort2 = sort1 To 1 Step -1 If score(sort2 + 1) score(sort2) Then tpnm = score(sort2) temp$ =

Re: [Audyssey] Score Sorting

2012-02-28 Thread Jim Kitchen
Hi Ken Below nop is the number of players slash scores to sort. sort1 and sort2 are just temperary variables as is tpnm. I believe though that this will sort lowest on top, so I believe that if in the third line you change the less than sign to a greater than sign, it will do what you need.

Hi Dean, I think that you would need to turn off the UAC and then run the uninfoot.bat file. The uninfoot.bat file will delete all of the football game files including the one that gets screwed up if you exit the game with the alt + f4 or do not enter a name for your coach. You would be
