[Dxbase] Report from N8JV on IOTAs - some more words from Joe wa6axe

Wed Jun 30 20:38:11 EDT 2004

To all,
Well -- we still may have a problem on some machines - even with
the newest version I sent out ...
This is the only problem when programming a report and the report
works OK on my machine (probably because I have the Crystal Reports
program itself on my machine) --
The newest version of the report which I just finished sending out
to all who had requested it has a "date and time of the file" as:
6/30/2004 7:17 P.M.
Pse be sure that the iotaneeded.rpt file that you have in your
2005 Reports folder is of that Date and Time ..
Also, I had to REVISE the Rptdesc.ini file -- to read as fols:
iotaneeded.rpt B IOTA Needed List.
Pse doublecheck to make sure that your Rptdesc.ini file entry
looks like the above line..
What I ran into - is: To put you callsign on the Report
(as Jim N8JV made it) - he used one table from your *.mdb logbook
file -- BUT, that table is NOT LINKED to anything in the Crystal
Reports program REPORT that he made - so it just could not work
(as programmed) -- I simply removed the FIELD in the report where
YOUR CALLSIGN was placed -- and it works OK now .. at least on
some machines..
More later...
