[Dxbase] Reducing the size of the QSO file...

Tue Aug 28 16:51:42 EDT 2007

Bill,
If you are running DXbase2006 or DXbase2007 - you don't need
that other little program you talked about (that was called
Access Maintainer) ---
In 2006 and 2007 Jack has the same thing built-into DXbase
-- under your DXbase program group -- and look for the
DXB Utility
name in the DXbase program group (from your Windows START ICON).
Run the section with the ICON named as Database ... run the
COMPACT feature of the DXB Utility- and you are good-to-go!!!!
That is the same thing as what Access Maintainer does...
