Excel bet placement error.

[keesbart]

Hi Gary,

The complete message is:
"Excel bet placement error. Attempted to log bets from latest list".
The bet is placed, but stays Pending in the Excel screen, the refresh stops and the Excel screens freezes.
This happened 3 times in a row. Every time I closed both BA and the spreadsheet to start again. I made screenshots.
Can you tell me why this happens and how I can correct this?

Regards,

I'll need to replicate this to find out. What version are you using?

Gary,

I am using 1.1.0.66x84. My computer runs Windows7.

Before I start running BA I always make a copy my the spreadsheet.
For the last 3 horse races yesterday I used this copy of the spreadsheet and this is working ok. No problems anymore.
Could it be that the spreadsheet got corrupted?
I can send you the screenshots if you think that this will help.

It could have been a temporary API issue. If it did not get a result from the API after placing the bet and then could not refresh the bets list to get the result it will not update Excel until it has completed this. I will add some more logging code to capture this next time.

Gary,
Fine with me. It looks like everything is back to normal again.
Thanks for your investigation.
