[Dxbase] How I fixed DXBase 2006

Sat Sep 30 08:58:16 EDT 2006

I just migrated from DXBase 2005 to 2006, and have ordered the DXBase 2007
upgrade. I am an Oracle database developer, so of course, I would be the
last person on the planet to actually stay up with a DXBase version (hi hi).
Anyway, being "Mr. Smartypants", I had decided to migrate from DXB 2005 to
2006 using an ADIF export and import. When I did that (and initialize the
tables and stats afterward), I seemed to have the problem I did with that
auto-fill summary window. 

Part could have been operator / user error on what I had set up in the User
Options, and part could have been the way I upgraded my version and then
migrated the database. Now everything works (including controlling the Orion
II with the Ten Tec Orion565-LCW selection. Thanks to all of you on the
reflector - you guys are super sharp and so helpful. 

I must say that I have tried two other highly regarded electronic logbooks,
and nothing comes close to DXBase. The reporting features and the Summary
band mode slot auto-fill, plus just the layout of the logbook and the way
you enter new QSO's (automatically as much as possible) is superb. I've been
using DXBase since at least version 2002. But I am the laziest when it comes
to upgrading. . .
