[Dxbase] Entering Old QSLs

Mon Sep 6 18:41:08 EDT 2004

This one is a tough nut.
I've run into something similar when transcribing old logs for the stations I manage.
I made a custom log file. 
You can do this by Selecting Field Order from the Dxbase Group.
It takes a bit of prefiguring as it's not editable.
You have to make it and then make a new one if your not satisfied.
But I made a W9OL MANAGER.CO field order file
With just the basic info fields, in the order I want for fast entry.
then I set the defaults for date, band/mode in the User Options.
this will take care of half of the work and cut down on tabbing/cursoring.
