Shaun,
On the Workbook you have here where it gets the prices using xml how is it coded to gather other information ?
For example
Length,Distance etc etc
This xml makes no sense, it's not like the code when Record Macro is written where it understandable-linear-->
xml looks like "2-way speak"
Set runnerNumber = runner.Attributes.getNamedItem("RunnerNo")
If Not runnerNumber Is Nothing Then
Sheet1.Cells(i + 5, 1) = runnerNumber.Text
Ya know?
It's not like,
"put race length in Cell B1"
Give this some thought, since when does a punter need to learn to program a PC to win a race when the punter already knows more than the programmer about racing and betting ?
But if your answer is something like, "well what goes round comes round, it is the age of the programmers"
I say ****, Pitsburgh Phil never used a computer!

Methods
Smith took notice of every detail in horse racing. He kept detailed notes of which horses were good runners during muddy conditions and always inspected horses at the end of a race to look for subtle signs of lameness or impediments (i.e. loose girth straps) that may have negatively impacted a horse's speed.[1] As he became more famous and seemingly successful, bookmakers would often refuse to place his bets outright for fear of losing money when he won. As a result, Smith conducted most of his betting through "beards", or men that he would commission to place bets for him. Smith tried to keep the identity of his beards a secret and never revealed their identities, even to his other commissioners. His movements were continuously followed by agents for the bookmakers and by the Pinkerton detectives employed by The Jockey Club.
