The main features of this program.
After installing the Tower Visit Logger, the next stage is to set up Logs for each user. All this requires is a few clicks of the mouse.
The user opens their log, moves through the Dove Extract, finds the tower and clicks on the appropriate field in the Visitor Records box. The full date and sequence number may be recorded if known, but when transferring historic records from diaries etc, partial dates or simply a flag to indicate a visit may be recorded. The Logfile is gradually built up over any number of sessions.
As each tower is selected, its location is shown on the map (UK Mainland only) as a Red dot. When switching over from displaying All Dove, to your own Visit - Quarters - Peal records, the map displays Red dots for each tower in the selection. My 341 towers are shown on the map above.
Visit logs may be viewed from the main screen, or printed on paper if desired. There are Seven different display and print modes. Print preview enables the printed layout to be checked before committing to paper.
Tower Visit Logger contains an extract from the 'Central Council of Church Bellringers' Dove database, containing all the rings hung for change ringing having more than three bells. Every Six months a new database for the Tower Visit Logger may be downloaded from this site.
If you have installed Tower Visitor more than six months ago, it is not necessary to download this version to get the latest tower information, but use the Loggers menu option Actions / Check for Database Update. The tower database is updated every April and October. This is a separate download that contains only the database, which will save download time for dial-up users.
From time to time it is necessary to change the software to incorporate new features or correct software bugs. Users of Version 2.00 should consider downloading the new 2.02 version of the software as a bug has been found that corrupts the data if a second log is opened without closing the first. Users with only one log won't notice this problem, so don't need to take any action.
Tower Visit Logger is designed for those who wish to simply record their ringing achievements. This easy to use program is not designed to compete with Towerbase which provides many more search and selection features. However my Tower Visit Logger is free, but if you require to see photographs, peal records and find towers within a particular area, then Towerbase which currently retails for £15 and then £5 or £10 for each upgrade is recommended.

To minimise download time, all the programs on this site are kept as small as possible. Therefore they are suitable for people with dial-up access as well as broadband. Broadband users can install directly over the Internet, dial-up users may also do this but can also adopt the two stage process of downloading and then installing. The two stage process may be helpful if the target machine does not have internet access.
