[Dxbase] 9 QSO's on the back of the card?

Tue Oct 18 23:32:57 EDT 2011

Ron and Joe,
In Version 1.09 of DXbase2007 -- you CAN print or preview the EXISTING cardback file(s) ... no problem
there --- the only thing to remember is that IF you take the existing crd file into the Label DESIGNER Module --
it will simply WARN you that when you save the file under this version of the COMBIT s/w -- that that
file is no longer usable with DXbase Ver 1.08 and backwards ....
But - If you are running ver 1.09 -- BOTH OF YOU -- then there is NO PROBLEM at all ... Ron, the only
problem that can come into play is when you have a crd or lbl file that WAS MADE in DXbase2000 (OLD OLD OLD ONE)
-- then, that file has to be handled completely differently ... but, most users have take those DXbase2000
files into their DXbase2005/2006 label designer and updated them ... IT will be extremely RARE if you have
a crd or lbl file that has never been touched by anything but one of those OLD OLD OLD versions of DXbase ...
You are good to go Ron - on your color version ... in the ver 1.09 designer ...

Thanks for pointing that out to Joe K0BX. That card design is mine, and I use it exclusively. In the folder ..dxbase 2007\labels you will find a PDF describing how to use it as well, with photos of the great results. Find CardBack_9Q.pdf and open it for a look.
I was working on an enhancement to these, including optional color if your printer permits. However I have been distracted, but I need to look at these again as I am concerned that with updates to the label software in DXBase that there might be compatibility issues to resolve before the next release.
Is there a change in version 1.09 that effects labels? If
 I have to work on labels to get compatibility 1.09 will that likely extend to the next major release?
I had promised Neal that I would get this done in time, but so far I have been a bit tardy.
Ron, AE5E (ex-N5IN)

Joe,
Yes -- that file is a file that is already included in DXbase2007 ... check the
Labels directory for:
CardBack_9Q_Black_centered.crd
or
CardBack_9Q_Color_centered.crd
