[Dxbase] Suggestion for new release

Mon Oct 8 02:53:43 EDT 2007

I noticed the same annoying behavior in the CAQP this past weekend (DXBase 
2006, WinXP). I wasn't really in the contest, just trying to hand out a few 
multiplier contacts from AK. I finally found a work around that simplified 
the problem, but the real solution is to fix the bug. My "work around" is 
when the dupe popup box shows up to click the "No" button and log the 
contact, then immediately hit the Esc key to delete the entry. This resets 
the number counter back to the correct number for the next qso and leaves 
the cursor in the call field for the next entry. A bit easier to hit the 
Esc key than to hit Alt-Tab to back space to the call field. However, the 
bug should be fixed.
