A) Resaving an entry
To correct errors in any winning past draw which you have entered incorrectly, simply correct the mistake then click 'Resave' to save your changes.
B) Deleting an entry
To delete an entry, have the entry you want removed showing in the data entry boxes and click 'Delete'. To delete many entries at once you can highlight as many as you want in the list and then right click the 'Delete' button. Select 'All Highlighted' and all the selected entries will be deleted.
Warning: All deletions are permanent.
Tip: Backup your data regularly.
C) Backing up your data
Click 'Back Up' to back up the file currently in use. This action always overwrites the existing backup file if one exists. It will make an exact copy of your current data file but uses an '*.blp' extension. Another way to back up your data is to use 'Save as' and save the file with a new filename or in another directory. Note: 'Save As' will automatically switch you to your new file. If you happen to have a back up file open and click on 'Back Up' you will notice that the operation failed. Lotto Logic 2000 cannot back up a back up file. To back up a back up file use 'Save As'.
Note: Switching to a new file is the equivalent to starting a new Lottery from scratch. Your 'Range Tracker' list will be cleared as well as 'My Numbers' but all your winning tickets will remain. To get your 'Range Tracker' and 'My Numbers' back, simply switch back to your original file.
D) Date Sort
'Date Sort' enables you to enter past draws you have missed or just want to add. Running 'Date Sort' will put these entries where they belong in the file by date. To use Lotto Logic Pro properly you need to maintain a complete list, meaning no missed entries from the start date to the end date. If you happen to miss a draw or come across some past draws you simply want to augment, add them and then run 'Date Sort'. For now, you are responsible for maintaining a consecutive list of entries from the start date to the end date. Coming in a future version will be a new feature called 'Date Checker', which will do this for you.
E) Print your past draws
Clicking 'Print' will print only the entries displayed in the list. This is true for all print routines in Lotto Logic Pro. It will only print what is showing in the list at that time. To print everything, you must have all entries displayed in the list before you start to print. For example, to print the entire Database of winning past draws change the View option to 'All'. If you only want to print certain past draws, highlight the ones you want and right click the 'Print' button then select 'All Highlighted'.
