Thanks Jim ... you made my life easier!

I've made the switch to BidX ... but only because you've warned us for years that FastBid would probably go away one day

Thanks for the good product throughout the years. What are the steps to take to download the bid pack file in the way you mentioned? Thanks.

Here's the way I did it. Your mileage may vary...

On PFC, click on News item "December bid open"

On the Bidpacks page that opens, click on small line of text at top that says

"To view or download your bid pack, click here"

Click on "Download (your particular) Bid Lines File"

Drag or copy the downloaded Bid Lines File to the Bid Packs directory,
wherever that happens to be on your hard drive

Open FastBid and select File, then Process New Bid Pack

Select downloaded Bid Lines File from the window that opens

Let FastBid do its magic

FYI, the Bid Lines File contains the pairing info as well as the lines.

Sorry, but I didn't see a way to download the Accepted Fares info. If you can find the file, just follow the same steps as above and it should work.

Accepted fares:
Go to
Expense Report Data
Accepted Fares
...drop down box for bid month, leave origin and destination blank...
Submit
save as MMMYY as webpage in same location as Fastbid file
reopen Fastbid and load fares... at least that's how it worked for me

Thanks. That worked for me. It will at least get me through this month.

Default Fastbid Lives on!

For all you cheapo's (and you know who you are..) I fixed Fastbid to handle the new super secret login. You can use Online.. check for Update to get 4.70 or download from Fastbid Bid Assistant. Too much time on my hands to let the challenge go unchecked. No promises for anything else though..

Thanks, Jim! I'll be trying out your new fix shortly. Even with the work-around, it still helped a lot with my December bid. Just a lot more typing to enter my bid.

Anyway, great job.
