[LOGic] How to make County field null for a QSO?

Sun Jun 3 08:51:25 EDT 2007

As you said it's a moot point now, but I wonder if copying that file
from somewhere else would have fixed the problem.
Happy DXing.

Hi Julio,
Interesting. Well, if there is NORMALLY a null entry at the top of the
COUNTY 
list, I wonder what happened to mine (before I replaced it as I
described)? I 
went back and checked my LOGic 7 installation (still resident on another
computer I have), and found the same thing -- no (none) record in
COUNTY, but 
(none) records clearly present in the other drop-down lists (STATE and
VE 
PROV).
LOGic 7 had been migrated to from LOGic 6, which I no longer have
installed... 
Perhaps this was a left-over artifact of my LOGic 6 installation -- the
COUNTY 
list (without a (none) record) having been automatically ported from
LOGic 6 
when LOGic 7 was installed? Well, it will probably just remain a
mystery. 
Thanks for all the replies. Just glad I was able to figure out how to
fix it. 
Now my LOGic 8 works just like everybody else's, apparently. :-)
