Bobcat,

Thanks, I'll give it another try. It didn't work . When I try the save as command from the spreadsheet it doesn't allow me to put a jpg extension. If I try to right click from windows explorer it doesn't have a save as option. I think I must have failed internet science 101 !! Do you have any more hints ?

Regards,

Peter

p.s. What class Cat do you race ?

Peter

When you use the save as, type the name of the file as such
"file.xls" then select the file type as all files. By typing "dot xls it will save it as a an excel file. It works, I did it earlier. good luck

Cheers

Another tip..

If your going the other way simply save your xls file somewhere and change the "name".xls to "name".jpg You may need to make windows explorer show file extentions... Then post it as a jpg.

i guess I need to expand my explanation a little. What I wrote was more concerning the downloader, not the uploader.

Starting with a saved .xls file on your computer save a copy of it someplace handy in preparation for the upload. As was suggested, I have my computer set to show all file extensions. I rename this file's extension to .jpg using the right-click menu(this is occuring outside of excel, I don't think you will be able to do the rename function inside XL). This file can now be uploaded using the forums attachment feature.

Forum users would then right-click the attachment and select the save-as function. It can be renamed back to .xls right now or after it is saved to the hard drive.


PS. I am kinda between boats right now. I have been sailing a Nacra 5.2 for years and am waiting for a Blade to show up in the next week or so.

I have attached the above linked boat file using this method. This worked for me using Internet Explorer. Using Mozilla Firefox, the save-as function was trying to save the file pointing at the attachment, not the attachment itself.

Hi all,
I have passed the details provided by those who PM'd me onto Roy and he will update the Mossie database. He tells me Phil Pearce(1765) supplied the original version.

Darryn,

I think this works.

Please pass on attachment to Roy. Maybe we should get it put on the National website.

Joe,

Here is the thread. I checked to see if it still worked and yes it does.

Hi All,

Just thought I should add the 2 mossies I have had over the years (197 sold in 1994 and 321 current). I have updated the attachment.

Trevor,

I have also updated the file with all of the Mozzies from the recent past Victorian state titles, other regatta events and included your updates.
