[Dxbase] Grids - I forgot one thing

Sat Apr 9 10:52:58 EDT 2005

Bob,
The count at the top of the report your spoke of
(168 of 1739) -- means NOTHING at all ..it is just
a "counting" of the NUMBER of records that the
report dealt with while it was doing the report.
It has NO signifance to you as the user. The 168
number is the number of records (QSOs) that the
report "passed-through" my "selection logic" that
I programmed into the report - and of those 168
QSOs -- some of them were "not shown" because I
am ONLY selecting (to print out for you) the
MOST RECENT QSO that met the requirements.
So bottom line Bob -- pse ignore the numbers
at the top of the report.. JUST use the report
itself.

>> Sure wish there was an easy way to do this, especially if the country is in one grid then those could at least be filled in automatically. Luckily those are done. Actually after being a ham for 27+ yrs I only have 678 QSLs and 287 of those are pre-1980. Unfortunately most of what is left is first half of 1980s.
>> Guess this is one time that only having 1739 QSOs will pay off.
>> I ran Joe's report and at the top of the report it had something like 168 of 1739, but never did figure out what that meant. I know that I have 347 QSLs with grids listed, because I used my report and pulled them from the database.
