[Dxbase] Too many digits on the frequency part of the QSL label?

Sat Feb 5 17:54:28 EST 2005

Bob,
The frequency field in the log is designed to be in the format it is in. 
All of the radio interface, and other conversions expect it that way. If 
you change it, you will get some really squirly results and probably destroy 
the useability of the database.
If you want something different on labels, cards, or designed reports, 
convert the field there.
Regards,
Jack

FYI; I solved my own problem on the digits in the frequency print out for
the QSO label. Using the following expression in the label designer
converted my KHz DXbase records into MHz on the label.
val(FREQ)/1000
Original Question: All along my auto-fill from the ICOM 765 has been
filling the frequency field with KHz. That is a 160M freq shows something
like 1893.13 and a 20M QSO is 14235.21. I have a lot of QSOs. So is there a
way to automatically remove 3 orders of magnitude from the frequency field
by doing a script? Perhaps directly in Access?
Then the other question is how do I get my auto fill from the transceiver to
fill in MHz and not KHz?
