[Dxbase] Trouble with Selection Wizard

Fri Nov 6 19:23:27 EST 2009

Dick,
Do you have other operator calls in your log? That might be why it's not 
reading all the records. Since your date selection fields look correct I'm 
not sure why you're not getting more hits. If you're feeling brave you 
might try this.
1. Make sure you have a backup of your mdb file.
2. Find your first SS 2008 phone record in DXB.
3. Go the Special 1 (or Special 2) field.
4. Click on Edit/Replace...
5. Tab out of the Find what: box that is empty and go to the Replace with: 
box and enter 'SS 2008'.
6. Click on Replace All. DXB will replace all empty Special 1 fields with 
'SS 2008'.
7. Now find the last 2008 SS phone record in the log - the actual last SS 
QSO, not the last 'SS 2008' in the log.
8. Tab to the Special 1 field and click Edit/Replace... again.
9. The Find what: box will have 'SS 2008' in it. Tab to the Replace with: 
box and type a blank space.
10.Click on Replace All and DXB will blank out all subsequent Special 1 
fields containing 'SS 2008'.
11. Now go to the Selection Wizard filters and clear all the check boxes 
except the Special - 1 box. In this box enter 'SS 2008' and click on OK.
12. Run the Wizard to test your ADIF output. It should find all the 
previously marked records.
