[Dxbase] Non-DXB Import Errors

Wed Sep 29 20:50:00 EDT 2004

Rich,
I haven't run into this myself, simply because I haven't been in this 
particular situation. I have worked the same station more than once in 
the same minute, but on different bands (NAQP, for example). This did 
not generate an error message.
This probably happens in your case because the QSO's are all on the same 
band. I think the best way to do it would be to have the import program 
generate a warning message instead of an error message. This would allow 
the contact into the log, but still give you some useful information in 
case there is a problem with your contest log.
Jack, is there any way to incorporate this into the next version of the 
import program?
I notice that the same thing happens if you try to manually log 
completely duplicate contacts. This might be an issue with the database 
program itself, and might not be easily resolved.
73,
