Latest 100 Draws error

[Da80th]

hi Stan,

I just notice when I update to Latest 100 Draws or any Latest # Draws, the date start from 11/30/01 to 5/22/07, that's over 5 years worth of data. Is anyone else having this problem?

I've attached the error log file below.


Thanks

there's nothing related in your error.log.
pls check your database, perhaps some draws are missing or skipped. and/or try removing all draws from your database and do online update...

hi Stan,

My original ExpertLotto works just fine, only the beta version get this error.

I've attached another Error log file with new error messages. Please check again.


Thanks

again, there are no relevant error messages in your log.
did you try copying the database from your 'stable' installation to the beta one?

Hi Stan

Similar type problem here. Seems to occur when the days the Lotto is drawn changes. Please see attached picture

ok, now i understand what's going on. it's actually a feature - not a bug.

option 'latest xx draws' selects xx latest draws from each draw day. so if the draw days changed in the lottery history then you'll be getting xx latest draws also from days that have been canceled...

[Bobijohn]

OK. Thanks -- a very quick response!!

But, I don't understand the advantage to this feature. In fact I think it is a bit misleading. If a "User" just wants to go back say xx days, to say run another quick prediction, then I assume he wants just those xx days not those xx days plus yy days with some gap in between.

Perhaps you can help me with your thinking for the use of this feature as you have it.

Thanks again.

hi Stan,

Is there a option to turn off this feature? More people will get this problem, such PadawanLotto who playing Ohio lotto where new Sunday draw will be added to current database.

And thanks Bobijohn for catching this.
