1. Will this software work on the latest Windows Vista platform?
Yes, if you have an upgraded version of Windows Vista then there should not be a problem. However, if you have a new PC with Windows Vista then you will need to install any components that do not ship with Windows Vista. Currently only one such component, msvbvm50.dll, has been identified. Try downloading and then installing the trial software. This will register msvbvm50.dll for you.

Yes. You can view the major ones by looking at the future updates section on this site.

17. What is the difference between a team captain and a team contact?
For most leagues there is no difference. However, the team contact can be through of as the manager who gets and distributes all information and the captain is the person that organisers the players on the match night. This can be useful as not all captains may have access to the Internet or email and so the contacts can be used. If the captain does have email then the captain can also be the contact.

No. SelectReport Options… from theReportsmenu and you will find plenty of options for changing fonts, colours and even adding pictures to the background.
