[Dxbase] "No Current Record" after Win10 auto-update

Mon Dec 14 14:53:14 EST 2015

Joe,
Thanks for your very quick reply. It's reassuring to know that my data 
is secure. However, I never did bother to make the DXBase help files 
work on Win7 (let alone Win10), so I can't refer easily to the Help 
procedure you referenced. I dug through the DXBase reflector messages 
and found Neil's PDF version of the Help file, and I followed the 
procedure on page 172 there. I needed to use the Ugdxbase.exe file you 
mentioned rather than following this step in the PDF since I don't seem 
to have a DXBase Program Group on this machine:
/4.From the DXbase Program group, run the DXB Import utility. The TARGET 
will be the newly created database//
//that you created in step 1 above. The SOURCE will be the original 
database that is now corrupted. The import type//
//will be version of DXbase you are running./
I also did not see the "Load All Records" option in the import program, 
but in any event the program did seem to properly import all 25,000+ 
QSOs with the exception of five that had oddball prefixes (Z6 and T1) 
that were not recognized. After this process I was able to initialize 
tables.
However, when I try to run my HF Numeric Statistics, DXBase crashes and 
exits, and Windows10 presents a message to that effect.
DXBase does seem to know about my HF statistics since it properly issues 
alerts for needed DX from the Internet Cluster window.
Any further troubleshooting suggestions?
Thanks again,
Walt, AJ6T
