[Dxbase] How I fixed DXBase 2006

Sat Sep 30 09:48:02 EDT 2006

If you had a working DXBase2005 and now purchased the 2006 version.
The easiest and most correct way to upgrade....is by using the Programs group item called 
'DXB Import'.
This utility will correctly import your qsos from the 2005 version to the 2006 version.
It will also upgrade country, iota, prefix changes etc.
You can do this again.
Save your present callsign.mdb file to a safe place, make a copy of the virgin.mdb file 
and change that name to yourcallsign.mdb.
Then using the correct utility from the Program Group called as above, DXB Import, perform 
the upgramde.
I'm betting that your stats will be correct this time.
Plus you will benefit from the corrections/changes that I mentioned above.
good luck
