Most Recent Version

Trial Genie 7.60 download: AKC Version 7.60 (.mdb and .accdb)
- See the Update760.docx in the zip file for details and screen shots

The main focus of the 7.60 release is to incorporate the new AKC rules starting on July 1, 2024.

- FEO in all classes

- Updated times for Exc/Mas Standard and Jumpers

- Remove table from Exc/Mas Standard

In addition

- Add Gate Sheet Printing for all classes, in schedule order, by ring

- Added in FEO checkbox on scoring screens

- Reported as NQ prior to 7/1 and ABS after

- Added FEO to judges report so judges know how many FEO runs there were (if FEO checkbox was used instead of marking as ABS on scoring screen. TG will translate FEO to NQ or ABS as needed for catalogs to AKC.

Fixed

- Null error in Posting Scores due to missing “Scoring Height” in scoring tables. This was happening for either AKC OLE import or other unknown reasons.

Simple Help File: TrialGenieHelp - PDF
This is from an earlier version, but is still useful.

eResults download: eResults - Sept. 2022

You need this eResults for all 6.0+ versions (including 7.00)

Here is a document of the new features to review. It has screen shots and details of some of the new features, including Premier.

IMPORTANT: Trial Genie requires Microsoft Access to run. This is a database program that uses the MS Access (2003 – 2013 versions are OK) to do its work. If you don’t have MS Access, you can download the Microsoft Access “RunTime” that will allow TrialGenie to operate – you just won’t have the ability to modify forms and reports.

The Runtime is available at Access 2013 Runtime Link

To download the new 7.++ versions:

1. Download the .zip file from the link above to your computer.

2. Extract the single file (AKCTG7xx.mdb) in that zip package to a location on your hard drive.

3. Using the Windows File Explorer, find the new .mdb file, right click, select Properties, and select “Unblock”. This tells Windows that the file is OK to use even though it came from the internet.

To get a license key for 7.xx:

1. Purchase the upgrade ($100.00)

2. I will communicate with you to verify the licensee name before generating the new key.

3. Open up the Access file from #3 above, click Register in the lower right, cut/paste the key and click Register.

Once successful, your new 7.xx version will be fully unlocked.

This change affected a huge number of modules and features in the code. I’ve tried to run through as many as I use, and will be using the software this weekend at a local show. However, I am almost positive that I missed some things. If you find something, let me know ASAP so I can update and publish the fix.

Thank you for your patience.
