[Dxbase] [dxbase] log problem resolved

For Pete's sake, if your going to arm the XYL at least make it a .22! That way when she gets hacked at you at least you'll have a fighting chance to survive the event!

 I just uploaded to LoTW our qso when I was in North Korea attending the funeral and coronation of Kim Jung IL II
 LOL
 Ok, I really didn't go...
 LOL
 Joking aside....you might look for the gaps in your log and download that time span from LoTW.
 Or one weekday evening, just download your whole logs from LoTW, 
 DXBase can import them and reject any dupes.
 Of course, make a backup first....I'm partial to stick and chip storage.
 I have one chip and one stick for every program I have that needs data storage backup.
 cheap and very transportable.
 And Neal helped me select a USB3.0 card and I set it up with a outboard USB 3.0 drive.
 Man is that a fast backup of my entire DXBase log of 90K qsos.
 Backups are like a .44 mag next on the nightstand.
 If you have them...you will never need them!!!
 (biggest mistake I ever made was teaching the XYL how to shoot!!!!)

 To those of you who offered suggestions on how I could fix the problem I was having with my DXbase database, thanks! 
 I had time earlier today to create a new database using the corrupted file I had. Although I may be missing as many as 1k QSOs, none of them appear to have been important enough to affect my totals. All the QSOs in the lost database had been uploaded to both LoTW and Club Log anyway and if I get an LoTW match that isn't in my log I will simply add it. :-)
