Possible to delete last Import Stats from OOTP History database?

WSR · 05-14-2004, 01:50 PM

I was trying to update my Career league using OOTP History last night and I screwed up.

I had just finished the second season in my league then used Export 5 to create the .csv files. However, I tried to Import Stats with OOTP History before I created the HTML pages using OOTP 5. I realized my error after OOTP History prompted me for the location of the HTML files, so I hit Cancel and exited the program. After creating the HTML pages, I went back to Import Stats, but during the process I got an error message telling me that I had duplicated fields or data in the database.

Is there a work around to this? Is there a way to reset the career database to delete the second season info that was partially imported? Any help would be appreciated.

.... always backup the file before importing. It's saved me a couple of times.

i would imagine you could use MS Access to open the database (.mdb) file and manually search and delete all the records for that year, of course I have never tried it so I can't guarantee that all the work it would take to do this would be rewarded...

backups are the way to go...

Good Luck
