[Dxbase] QRZ CD

Mon Sep 1 11:36:06 EDT 2008

This is in the dxbase help file.
Directory Options
These options provide the capability to identify the type of third party
Address CDROM that may be used with DXbase. The path for sound files is
also specified here. To access Directory options, select Tools/Options/User
Options from the main menu and then select the Directory tab.

CD-ROM Entries
1. 	Enter the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive or hard drive if you
place the data on your hard drive.
2. 	Select the CD-ROM type from the CD-ROM drop down list
3. 	Enter the CDROM Data path as listed below:
Hamcall 		\HAM0\ ( that's a numeric zero )
	RAC		\ ( that's a single backslash)
	QRZ		leave blank
NOTE: As CD-ROM address database manufacturers make changes to their
product, these options may change and you should consult the instructions
provided by these manufacturers. 
 Auto Screen Lookups
During normal operation of DXbase, you will be receiving DX spots, clicking
on QSO records, and clicking on DX spots that have been received. Each time
one of these events occurs, DXbase can automatically lookup the callsign
that was clicked from your CDROM address database and display the results in
the QSL Info window. Place a check mark in this option if you want these
lookups to occur automatically. Be cautious of selecting this option if you
are using a slow CDROM drive. If your hardware is slow, setting this option
on will have a negative impact on the performance of DXbase. 
Program Path
This is an informational entry that cannot be changed. It was established
based on the folder that was selected at the time DXbase was installed.
Data Path
The current database path is displayed for reference. You cannot change
this entry. It is the path that was chosen at the time you started DXbase
and selected the database path. Or, it is the path chosen when you
installed DXbase.
Field Order Path
The current QSO field order configuration file path is displayed for
reference. You cannot change this entry. It is the path that was chosen at
the time you started DXbase and selected Field Order configuration file.
Or, it is the path chosen when you installed DXbase.
Activate Interface
Place a check mark in this box to enable the CDROM interface within DXbase
to automatically display address information in the QSL Info Window. Auto
population of info from the address CDROM while logging are controlled in
the Log Defaults tab of user options.
Note:
DXbase creates two sub-directories under the database directory. One called
"Labels" which contains all of the label format files, and a second called
"Reports" that contains all of the report format files. These two
directories MUST be located one level below the Database Path. If you move
them to any other location, DXbase will not be able to find the correct path
and you will receive errors whenever you attempt to view/print labels or
reports.
Example: Assume your database path is C:\DXbase
Then you must have a Label directory as C:\DXbase\Labels and report
directory as C:\DXbase\Reports
Sound Path
Click the path selection button and select the path to the sound files that
you wish to use. As shipped, DXbase includes to full sound directories,
CWsounds, Ylsounds or Omsounds. The Ylsounds set uses a female voice, the
Omsounds uses a male voice. The CWsounds uses morse code sound files for
the letters/numbers of the alphabet and thereby announces DX spots in CW.
You can also create your own sounds and use them with DXbase.
Example: C:\DXBASE 2003\Ylsounds

Would someone please remind me how to enter the path for the QRZ CD? I
entered it as \PROGRAM FILES\QRZ HAM RADIO\CALLBK but that's not
working. Thanks much.
