GAMBO Database - Auto setup

redmarkYankees · 03-26-2007, 04:30 PM

Save the GAMBO database files in their subfolders (2007Import, 2007Yearly, Lahman) to a new folder (e.g. 'Gambo'). Unzip the attached file into the 'Gambo' folder. Open it up, enable macros, enter the year you want your league to start, click the button. It takes about 20 seconds to complete.

- Copies full set of database files to 'Gambo' folder
- Follows the readme instructions automatically: Merges history from 'Lahman', year of import from 'Import'
- Also merges years after import from 'Yearly', so you don't need to have a separate path in-game for subsequent years

In-game, set the database path to the 'Gambo' database. No need to change it after import. Original files are not altered.

Is it safe to assume that this utility won't work on a Mac?

I want to use Gambo's DB, but am confused on the EXACT steps to take.

Correct. Sorry, I should have said in the first post, it's Excel/vba and uses the Windows scripting host object model, so no good for Macs.

If you want to do the same manually: you need to create each of the batting.csv, pitching.csv, fielding.csv and fieldingOF.csv from a combination of (in order):

- the records for years upto the year before your league will start from the Lahman folder files.

- the records for the year the league will start from the Import folder files.

- the records for the years after your league start year from the Yearly folder files.

Do all of this on a new copy, not overwriting the originals from any of the subfolders.

(edit: for fieldingOF.csv, use the Import file for the years before import).

These are the steps I have been told before, and I don't understand them. Has anyone written out an actual step by step guide?
