Rain total incorrect
« on: October 12, 2011, 03:14:35 AM »
For the second month in a row I have incorrect rain total in WD. I corrected it last month and at the start of this month rain total is wrong again.

I have build 78
Thank You

Just wanted to report that from Nov to Dec the monthly rain total did not change to 0. Not sure why this happening but could you please look into this when you get a chance.

Thanks

My rain totals did not rest on Dec 1st either. WD was running at the change over. I manually corrected them.
Running the latest build of WD 10.37

just tested here with your settings
set the date and time to just before midnight 30 nov
worked OK
month rain was reset OK

what speed pc?
how much memory on the PC?
I will also need a copy of any custom web files used (i.e that contain custom tags)

what you could try for next month is restarting WD on the last day of the month, close to the end of that day

what else is that PC doing (i.e for software)
is it often busy, etc?
I would try and reduce what is happening on the PC and what WD is updating around midnight
