Looking for downloadable point tracker program

[BorisMD]

I currently use an excel spreadsheet by someone named Lew, but it doesn't appear to allow me to add a contract with a different use year.

Does anyone have or know of an excel program that can do this?

Thanks,

Boris

The Point Tracking program (DVC-Tracker) is still in development, but sections of it are undergoing beta tests currently.

I expect the program will be ready in the next few months.

DVC-Planner and DVC-Chart are available now for your planning purposes.

Thanks for the recommendation. For better or worse, I'm a Mac user, and those programs won't work for me. That's why I was hoping to find someone who'd done this with Excel.

I use a program called DVCManager that I like real well. Dunno how or if it handles multiple contracts but here is a link to the site that has it for download. http://www.members.aol.com/DMFredrick/Download.html

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it doesn't run on Mac.

The program I currently have was originally written by someone named Lew Rafsky.

Thanks again,

I used to have Lew Rafsky's Excel tracker too....worked really well for me, until I lost it and all my info when my hard drive crashed. For some weird reason it wasn't backed up with my other stuff.

Since we have 2 home resorts I had to set it up kind of funny, but it worked for me. If anyone has this I'd love to get a copy.

I also use Caskbill's planner program and I love it...so I really can't wait until the tracker is ready, especially if it handles the planning and tracking all in one place!

I knew Lew many years ago when he was active on Compuserve. I believe he's still active on line. You might try posting a similar message on RADP and see if you get a response.

Well, after much searching, I was able to find Lew's phone number, and I called him up.

He was helpful. It turns out I just have to make a new spreadsheet with the separate contract, and save that spreadsheet with a new name. Not too difficult at all.

Thanks for your help,

Boris

One of my beta testers is using a Mac and my DVC-Tracker program is running fine using VirtualPC. I've had reports that both of my other programs run under VirtualPC on the Mac also.

I'm certain Dave's DVC Manager program will run that way too.

Don't know how many PC programs you want to run on your Mac, but that would be an option. (Don't know what the cost for the VirtualPC program is but I don't think it's that cheap) I think the program is specific by processor, works on some and not others, so you'd need to verify it would work on your machine.

Just a thought.

Lew has updated his point tracker and its available to download at his website.

Okay, so I'm not too technically inclined, but I have been using Microsoft Money to track my points. Obviously not the program's intended purpose, but it has served me well. For two different contracts you'd just have to set up two separate accounts.

$219-$279 depending on Windows version (either XP home edition or pro). It will also eat up quite a bit of HD space and run slower than it might otherwise.

2 contract = two excel documents.

That is how I've set it up now that I've done an add-on.

I just saw a post in the DVC planning board from a guy called Lew saying he updated his DVC tracker excel spreadsheet and it works for the Mac.

Here's the link
