I played first time today using FD. Unfortunately looks like nobody but me was able to see FD-cc. No information sent, no aut. bids and kibs was also unable to see cc. I press 'use' button several times but nothing seems to happen.

What am I doing wrong?

You have to press teh "use" button. When you load your CC to the table, you will see a message sent to the table by the software that says NS (if you are NS, otherwise EW) are using a new convention card.


Until you press use, you can look at it if you want, but it is not loaed to the table.

Thank you Ben. Once I have tried to test in a teaching mode. Then I got the message of NS vs ES. By that time I accepted and tried to see if I received any messages but unfortunately not. I played all 4 seats.

I have never been able to have the confirmation message to ordinary table. I have wondered.

I press the green 'CONV' button - then choose 'working card' and Bidedit application open. Then I on 'Bidedit application' press 'USE'. Nothing happens. I assumed it was OK but it looks like it is not. Something must be in it as it cannot be own card on my PC I watch as the card shuts down when I disconnect.

I you send me a copy of the file in question as an e-mail attachment (fred@bridgebase.com), I will check it out.

Several other FD-related bugs have been reported (no big surprise). Special thanks to DJNeill and MickyB for helping me get to the bottom of these problems.

I have to go to a tournament tomorrow, but I am going to try to release a new beta version before I go.

Besides bug fixes this version will contain a nice surpirse

I have just made a new complete download of BBO. Now it is working differently. I can load all of the convention cards default from BBO but none of my own ones. I am not quired for anything but table gives this message: -> TABLE: NS using a new convention card.

When I now hit the green CONV button I have a new option - to look NS convention card.

Therefore it looks now as I am able to load a cc.

Why am I not able to load my own ones? Do they need to be uploaded to WEB by me?

I have no idea and if I don't know chances are that nobody else does either.

That is why I asked you to send me a copy of one of the files you are having trouble with.

Then I can find out the answer to your question.

Is it just me, or isn't this kinda like having Bill Gates help me with installing my printer in Windows?....;-)

This place is the greatest.

The problem turned out to be the location of these files on Claus's hard disk.

Not sure exactly why this was a problem, but when he moved the files to:

c:\bridge base online\convcards\csdenmark

(csdenmark is his ID on BBO)

everything was OK.

Eventually I will figure out what is going on here and do something about it, but for now I suggest that you save the FD files you create in the corresponding place on your hard disk.
