[Dxbase] Previous QSOs

Mon Jan 22 16:52:32 EST 2007

Guys,
 Here is "one" possible explanation. If you should accidently hit the 
space bar and enter a blank space character before you type the callsign in 
the "Value to Find" box, DXbase will NOT find the callsign. It will LOOK 
absolutely perfect to your eye but the program is trying to find a value 
that starts with a blank space character and therefore it will not find the 
call sign you are want.
 Try this, if you search for a call and it is not found, just RE-ENTER 
the call, making certain there is not a leading space and search for it 
again.
 Another possible explanation for this problem is if you type the 
letter "O" instead of the number "Ø" then DXbase will not find that 
callsign either.
