Anyone know why I cannot change the info on my edit records page. My rainfall info is way off, and everytime I change it and click OK it will not save, or change it.


Thanks',

Can you be more specific, please? Which item(s) are you trying to change?

If you are trying to set the all time monthly rain total to a lower value, and the record is held by the current month, then you will first have to correct the total for the current month (by editing the daily totals in dayfile.txt, with Cumulus stopped); otherwise, as soon as the next reading is taken, the current monthly total will again become the all time record.

I am trying to change the monthly total, the highest on record total under edit.

You need to edit dayfile.txt, in the Cumulus data folder, where you installed Cumulus. The format of the file is in the wiki: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Dayfile.txt

The easiest way to edit the file is by using David's Toolbox: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Toolbox

Edit the daily totals until your current monthly total is correct. You can then reset your all time record.
