[Dxbase] Updater Once or Twice

Tue Nov 9 09:27:52 EST 2010

 Boy I'm going out on a limb here but I 'think'
If you copy both 'callsign'.mdb AND refdata.mdb you will be ok.
but if one computer does NOT have the same refdata.mdb as the other, you 
may have some discrepancies.
I would suggest doing the Updater on BOTH computers so that the 
redata.mdb files agree.
Your refdata.mdb also contains iota updates, as well as prefix and 
entity stop/start dates
At least I think so...

I have seen a couple posts about errors here so before I do it I am going to watch to see if there is really a problem. I too have 2 computers running dxbase..
