hi,i will help crack the code if you still need help?which letters are left,and roughly what time do you think we can start trying?
exciting!!!

Checkout thread #28 by jellyhead and download the code generator. If that works, you won't physically need to type in all the code words to see if they work, it should do it itself and save all the hassle Hopefully site will be open about this time tomorrow??? Who knows lol

Spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3YvRUZJUfa0Z1JqUDY4MGRnZW8/edit?usp=sharing

I've updated it to use 8 codewords instead of the 10 it used in the previous promotion. Download it and open it. I've never used googledocs before so I've probably got it wrong - let me know!

We've found in the past that it doesn't work on a mac, so you'll need a PC, Microsoft Excel, Internet Explorer and a priority reference number.

You will need to enable macros on this spreadsheet. My version of excel is ancient, so I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but for me near the top of the screen is a security warning saying that macros have been disabled. Click on 'options', select 'enable this content' then click ok.

These are the instructions for using the spreadsheet. Obviously, it won't work until the Sun Holidays Booking site is opened, but before then if you press 'button 1' you should get an IE window opening up with the sun holidays page saying that it's not yet open.

There are 3 tabs to the Spreadsheet but you'll only need the first one which should be open, and is called 'data'.

Put the first part (7 digits) of your Priority Reference into cell C6, where it asks for it.

Put Second part (3 digits) of your Priority Reference into cell C7, where it asks for it.

Add the correct codes for days 5, 6 and 7

Put your Email address in the Email address field, C18.

At the bottom right of the page is a list of words, and which line to start at for which letter. Choose where you want to start, put the number for the 'start line' of that letter into cell C20, under your email address where the number currently says '1'. Or you can just start at 1 but it could take an hour or so to go through all 4-thousand-odd words

Press 'button 1'

Have done all the above but when I press 'button 1' I don't get an IE window opening up with the sun holidays page saying that it's not yet open.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, managed to change my security settings to enable macros and put in all other details in but just won't open the link when I press the '1' button. Hope I can suss it before tomorrow as I really wanted to help with the code cracking this time.:mad:

I think I had a tab come up in excel first time I opened the spreadsheet saying "Enable Editing" I had to press that then when I clicked button 1 it opened up explorer. Would it make any difference to make explorer your default browser for the time being?? Sorry I can't be of more help

Jellyhead just got DH to check your code cracking doc (he can write vb) and he says it all looks good to him so we should be good to go now!

Excellent - and if it doesn't work maybe he'll be able to fix it
