I have a UDM that will only show where it hits after the play in the Data window when "show individual plays" is used. It has never shown up in the html reports but is pretty active in the show plays. It is active in the wizard, any ideas..ChrisL

Educated guess...

Does the UDM have odds and/or results based factors as part of the UDM definition?

If so, that'll work in the Data Window because when a db build routine is run the odds are pulled from the chart file and written to the db... The UDM works in the Data Window because the odds are known in the Data Window.

However, on race day when the Calc Races button is clicked, the Profile Marker has no way of knowing what the odds and/or results based factors might be. When the Calc Races button is clicked everything odds or results based has a value equal to zero - and UDMs using odds and/or results based factors as part of the UDM definition will not flag any horses.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

AND RANKODDS >= 3
AND ODDS >= 4
AND OR3 >= .80

If the UDM definition contains lines of sql similar to the above...

You'll need to remove that part from the UDM definition if you want the UDM to "fire" when the Calc Races button is clicked.

Hint: After removing the the above odds based sql from the UDM definition... Paste the following into the BettingInstructions field:

Odds MinRk4 MinVal4 OR3Min.8

And then when you see it displayed on the reports you'll know at a glance what conditions need to be met before pulling the trigger.
