[Dxbase] CWGet - CWType Bridge

Fri Oct 5 17:40:32 EDT 2012

Joe,
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I have a macro setup in CWType to do the logging. My macro is F12 = ~[lgs]~[ce]. This logs the QSO and clears the entry boxes in CWType so you can enter the next QSO info by hand or by clicking in the CWGet window. It has worked before.... and TADA, it now works again!
The secret was to set the Properties in bridgecwget.exe to "Run this program as an administrator". Seems like all things associated with DXB2007 now require that the Run as administrator setting be enabled. I think this is a Windows requirement because the DXB2007 program is not installed in Program Files.
So the answer is there is only one bridgecwget.exe version, it works with both 2006 and 2007, but under 2007 requires the Run as administrator setting be enabled. Thanks again for you reply and all the best.
73,

 Gary,
 I just tested the CWGet/CWType BRIDGE that I made and using the MACRO "setup" correctly to
 log straight into DXbase2007 worked just like it should ...
 The QSO is saved by SETTING-UP a MACRO with the proper info so that the QSO data
 is sent thru the BRIDGE over to DXbase .. According to the CWType HELP section -- the following
 is the MACRO to send with ::
 ~[lgs] or `[lgs] - to save QSO into the log.

This utility connected DXBase2006 to the CWGet and CWType programs. It was especially nice to use with CWType as I could log a contact directly into DXB. I haven't used CWType since moving up to DXB2007 until today and discovered the bridge program doesn't seem to be working correctly now.

However, when I try to log a call with a macro in CWType it doesn't get entered into DXB. I'm sure this used to work with 2006. I don't think anything special such as an install needed to be done, but I can't seem to get it to function correctly. Does anyone know if the bridge utility was for 2006 only or are there different versions for 2006 and 2007?
