What other software do you use to enhance your booking experience (record keeping)?

<p>In the game go to Options and there is an option there to export .mdb file.</p><p> </p><p>

As mentioned above, an .mdb file can't technically be "opened" in Excel as it is a database file, not a spreadsheet. You would need Microsoft Access to open that file outright.</p><p> </p><p>

If you need it in Excel, you would need to set a database connection to the file (Data tab then New Query).</p><p> </p><p>

The file I attached on the other page has a homepage giving full instructions on how to pull your data through.</p><p> </p><p>

Hope that helps.</p>

Thanks I will try it again. I have a different version of excel at work and home so I wasn't seeing the data options on my home computer.

<p>so I got this working... iwas being dumb.</p><p> </p><p>

So with regards to tag teams it would maybe be handy to have who they are partnered with and what their experience level is?</p><p> </p><p>

Or who they can be a team with and their experience level as a team as I assume this is in the DB somewhere.</p><p> </p><p>

This would then be handy for hiring tag teams?</p><p> </p><p>

for example say I had Bret Hart on my roster, I can see he can be a team with Jim Neidhart (who for this example isn't on my roster) as a hirer I don't know what their level or experience is so it would be nice to have the team level rating, this way I could base my hiring decision on that, if its a A/A* then its a no brainer, maybe its a C/C+ which would make me think I could still develop them etc.</p>

<p>Is there any good idea to record individual performances per match? </p><p> </p><p>

I am starting to consider pushing only consistent good talent that give good performances for the product I have.</p>

[MinimiMax]

I only use Wordpad and Paint. Wordpad I use to quicker access the things that I need to see while either managing my roster or booking a PPV so I don't have to constantly be opening the in-game notepad. Probably gonna use it to help with my brand split draft as well. Paint I use for tournament brackets.
