Hi! Great, now it works. I see your point about too large database too. As I am new to opening training with a database program, there are a few things to pick up....
While I am at it: when I annotate a game with crafty, the annotations are not saved, and the option "save: replace game" is not available. How can this be? I can export it and have the analysis in a web page, but I'd like to keep it in my database as well. How do I do this?
