[Dxbase] Duck QSL Card -- more info Eric

Fri Sep 9 23:53:56 EDT 2005

Eric,
YOU are going into the DESIGNER Module itself ---
"if" you are strictly wanting to PRINT your qsl cards
(using the Duck QSL card) -- then DO NOT do that from
within the Labels Deisgner Module !!!
YOU will always PRINT your QSO data by going to the
Main Menu / Output / User Designed Labels .....
This is the ONLY way that DXbase can actually pick-up
the QSO data from the labels pending database!!
IF YOU are wanting to "modify" the structure of the
current DUCK QSL file -- then YES - you change that
from within the Label Designer Module -- BUT, be aware
that what you see as the DEFAULTS for the various
"Variables" in the Label Designer Module -- are nothing
more than "Defaults" that Jack put in to let you know
what kind of data each variable is ... BUT, AGAIN ---
YOU NEVER EVER print your qsl card data from within the label
designer module -- NOT EVER!!!!!!!!
