[Dxbase] Summary Window updates not complete

Tue Oct 10 13:09:13 EDT 2006

I had some strange problems like this after I decided to try to do an end run around the "normal" process of migrating your database from one version to the next. 
I tried doing the migration using an ADIF export and then import - and then initialize the stats tables. This simply didn't work very well - sure, the log data came over, but the initialize table procedure didn't seem to connect all the links that it does when you do the "normal / documented" migration. 
Just a "wacky theory" - I'm an Oracle DBA, so I tried to get fancy and shot myself in the foot. It humbled me back to reading the manual and following the instructions verbatim. 
I doubt you did something as "creative" as I did - but I figure I would throw this out - just FYI.
73,
Rich
