Showman Bug Fixes

November 11th 2010 - bug fix - the Marking Progress page of the Winners module didn't update - this bug has now been fixed.

June 7th 2011 - bug fix - Attempts to open the 'Trophies' module when there were NO ENTRIES in the Database resulted in a crash - the bug has been fixed in the Showman 2.8 downloads.

June 27th 2011 - bug fix - Attempts to DELETE an Entrant from the Database by using the 'Entries', 'Database and Errors' page continually resulted in a message - 'Please Select a Record'. This problem has now been fixed.

Registered users who have ALREADY UPGRADED to version 2.8 DO NOT NEED to download and install the FULL 2.8 package to fix these problems.

Just download the file 'Showman.Exe' (4534272 bytes, 27th June 2011) and copy this file to the C:\Program Files\ShowMan 2.8 folder, replacing the file already there - this may need Administrator rights on Windows 7 or Vista.
