Clyde,
Great program and I am still learing the functions and just how usefull this program really is.
As everyone else here, I do have a question though.
Do you know of a macro, or is there a function built into the program to download the current GPX file for a given set of caches in the database.
I know this can be done via PQs, but my databases arent always that linear. I might have a few caches from many PQs in a single database, or caches created manualy along a route.
As I am sure you can imagine it is quite time consuming to have to open up each pages online URL and then download the GPX file for each page, then drag and drop the resulting GPS into the database. Normaly this wouldnt be a a problem, but when creating a multi-state route, this can be hundreds of caches.
An example. I have spent the last few weeks, as I have time available, plotting a route accross the US for a work related move I am making. Begins in NC and ends in WA. I am picking and choosing what caches I will find along the route based on ease of locating (I am on a time crunch) and the cache draw. The resulting database has about a hundred caches. This is the result of many hours looking at pages and pages of caches. By the time I leave some of them are potentialy weeks old and the information may be way out of date. In one case of going back for a quick look to ensure I was where I thought I was, the caches had been archived. Would have a pain if I had arrived in the area not knowing the cache had been picked up already and no longer available.
If there was an automated method to update the cache pages already in my databases this could be prevented.
Make any sense of is this ramblong diatribe?
Thanks
