[Dxbase] ADIF import to DxBase2006 problems

Sun Jul 17 14:46:32 EDT 2005

Ed,
After you sent me the 4 adi files, I did a Standard ADI import into
a Virgin database -- bringing all 4 of them in a one time. One after
the other - without closing the Non-DXB Import program. Totally
perfect with all 349 QSOs accounted for an NO ERRORS.. Initialize
Stats worked perfectly.
Then I tried an import of all 4 of them into my own mdb file ..
again - perfect action with no errors and again initializing stats
was flawless.
Since I can not reproduce the problem you saw Ed, I sure don't have any 
warm feeling abt why it acted up for you when you imported all 4 at one 
time..
73 fer nw,

> I had about four contest (CT adif) logs to import to my DxBase log. I imported the logs using the utility, one after another, without starting up DxBase. When I did run DxBase, I found a number of oddities in the log. I would see several log entry lines that didn't have any QSO data and were grayed (actually red 50%) out. I saw QSO's that were probably wrong because they were in the wrong date order, even after sorting. When I tried to do Initialize Tables, I think I got some non-fatal error, something like "unrecognized bookmark". Initialize Tables only found about 10% of the QSO's in the log. I thought maybe I did something funny, so I reverted back to my saved log (Yes, I made a copy before doing all this). I carefully did the same import process again, importing the logs in a different order. Same results. I then imported the logs one at a time on the original .MDB file, running DxBase between each import to verify that the import went okay. By doing that,
 the log was fine after the four imports. When I looked at the two files, the bad .MDB file was something like 10% larger in size than the correct log after the imports. Is there anything in DxBase that requires you to run DxBase after an import?? I am pretty sure that I have done multiple imports in the past without any problems like this. Anyone see similar results?
