under some circumstances.

Version (3.0e) provided the following fixes and enhancements to version 3.0b.

Fixes a problem with the score entry dialog box not properly updating the player's 
course handicap when switching golfers but not golf courses. This would also sometimes 
result in an incorrect course handicap and net score being entered on the Scores sheet. 
It did not affect handicap calculations.

Fixes a problem that would sometimes result in  a "run-time error 13 - type mismatch" 
or "run-time error 16 - expression too complex" errors that occurred under certain 
circumstances when the program automatically combined nine hole scores.

Fixed a problem with the score entry dialog box that would leave combined 18 hole
course data in the dialog box after the program automatically combined two nine hole
scores.

Version (3.0b) provided the following fixes and enhancements to version 3.0a.

Fixes a problem with a run-time error resulting from a golfer's home course not
being listed on the Golf Course sheet. (This can only happen if one manually
overwrites the golfer's golf course on the Golfers sheet.)

Fixes a problem with importing data from version 1.x causing a run-time error.

Version (3.0a) provided the following fixes and enhancements to version 3.0.

Fixes a problem that occurs when adding a new golfer that caused the last three 
columns on the Golfers sheet to be displaced. The problem was only temporary since 
using the "Prepare Golfer Reports" function would automatically correct it.

Version (3.0) provided the following enhancements to version 2.1a.

  Compliance with the quadrennial 2002 changes to the USGA Handicap System.

  Additional scoring information tracking.

Version (2.1b) provided the following fixes and/or enhancements to version 2.1a.

Fixes a problem with the "Delete Old Scores" function on the Scores worksheet. 
Although old scores were properly deleted, the last three columns would not be deleted 
and would therefore be shifted out of sync with other scoring information. Visit 
Handicap Manager support page at www.djicomputer.com for more details.

Version (2.1a) provided the following fixes and/or enhancements to version 2.1.

Fixes a problem with the Golfer sheet not sorting correctly. The golfer list was

Home Course and Golfer Name.

Version 2.1 provided the following fixes and/or enhancements to version 2.0.

Fixes a problem with handicap adjustments required for exceptional tournament scores 
under the USGA handicap system. This problem occurs when calculating handicaps for 
multiple golfers in version 2.0, it did not affect earlier 1.x versions or non-USGA 
handicap methods. It would only impact the calculation for golfers who had posted at 
least two tournament scores that had handicap differentials at least three strokes 
better than their USGA Handicap Index.

Version 2.0 was a major upgrade of version 1.x and provided the following new 
features and enhancements:

  New "smarter" score entry dialog to make entering scores faster and easier.
