[Dxbase] Upgrading from 2004 to 2005

Sat May 22 06:32:32 EDT 2004

if your using Win XP.
You can go to Windows/System32/Drivers/Etc and you will find a hosts.dxb24.bak file
Rename the existing Host file and then rename the hosts.dxb24.bak file to hosts
Remember there is no extension.The Type Coolum should just say File. I think that's the
structure in 98 also but can't remember.
No, your 2004 settings are not carried over. You have to adjust your screen, change your
fonts, size, colors etc.
The Column orders are also not applicable as there are new column in DXB2005 necessitating
building a new custom .co file.
Other than that, the only thing I noticed was that two qso's with that are not with legal
ARRL entities was rejected on the import due to 05 not having a country mapping for them.
Which is correct as they were not valid entities.

> Hello All..
>> I just recently loaded DXbase 2005 to a new folder. Immediately, I lost all

>> In addition, my settings from 2004 are not carried over to 2005, such as
> field order in the log, screen layouts, etc.
>> Which files should I bring over from the 2004 to 2005 folder to retain all
> the old setting??
>> Also, has any experienced anything unexpected that I should be aware of
