[Dxbase] Unresolved DXbase problems - Joe wa6axe

Thu Jan 8 19:55:27 EST 2009

Paul,
I personally don't have any suggestions for you. 
I do not run VHF Packet or use VISTA as the O/S.
My gut feel is that I would save my logbook and
Refdata mdb file to a safe place and then uninstall
DXbase2007 - then from scratch reinstall DXbase2007.
And, when I got DXbase2007 installed, I would go through
the Corrupted Database routine - importing the SAVED
logbook mdb file into a virgin mdb file ... this way,
you have a brandnew install of DXbase2007 - and - you
have also a CLEAN logbook mdb file (in case it was
corrupted).
That is what I personally would do Paul - but, there are
480+ DXbase users on this reflector - and, hopefully,
someone might have run into this problem before.
I would also doublecheck very carefully, the OPTIONS
that deal with the VHF Packet window -- and - I would
make sure that I "had" ALL of the other "windows"
opened up in DXbase ...
Anybody else run into this problem and can help Paul out?
