[Dxbase] Field Order help

Thu Jul 2 01:37:43 EDT 2009

Jon,
I think I found it! From the Help file:
"Previous QSO Module
While DXbase is running, you will have the opportunity to select a different 
configuration file when you enter the Previous QSO Module. If you do not 
see a prompt, then put a check in the option on the Previous QSO screen when 
it is displayed, close the window, and access it again.
When prompted, navigate to the folder where your configuration files were 
stored. Once there, you will see any files that end in the .CO file 
extension. Select the configuration file that you wish to use and click the 
open button.

The check box in the Previous QSOs window is called "Select Field Order".
73,
