[Dxbase] Import

Sun Feb 12 10:57:34 EST 2012

Well, as long as you're on a roll, maybe it could also be programmed to
figure out why I just installed a Blu-ray internal drive in my PC and still
can't play anything cause there isn't any software to play it with and of
course Windows 7 doesn't support blu-ray in its software. And maybe we can
figure out why the Atlanta ground hog said winter was over and today it's 19
degrees in the sun. And, one last request, maybe it could read my mind...
now there's a challenge.

GM Bill,
The Import program drops out "Warnings" -- the VE Provinces because within
DXbase (as currently configured) the STATE column is only for USA STATES ..
And, the Alaska Borough is not a County for the County Hunters award - so,
it is dropped out -
Maybe, in the far future - DXbase can be programmed so that it can have a
column called Provinces (and then the import program modified to recognize
all of the various countries and their PROVINCES) -- and then have the
import program modified also to recognize the Alaska Borough name - and have
it mapped to the proper Judicial District for the sake of the County Hunters
Award ...
The only thing that you County stats might be OFF on would be the Alaska
QSOs and any of the Independent Cities (like in VA, etc etc).
