Re: [Dx4win] printing labels still again..
I set modified in preferences to zero. So that's fixed as before. But I swear when doing QSL's it was always F8 enter call F2 then F8 enter call F2 Then select print QSL's in SEQ. What am I doing wrong. There are no filters. I even hit ALT-s after each one. On 3/18/2015 12:42 PM, bob wrote: OK I want to print a label.

Well, when you press F2, does the Label field in the QSO data window change from N to Y? This would be good to know. If you don't see that, make sure you're in Expert mode, then F5 until you can see it. If not, then pressing F2 is not set to change it, possibly because your DX4Win.ini file got hosed up. You say you set the F2 in preferences to Mark for printing a label. Open the DX4Win.ini with a text editor and check to see that the flag called F_F2_Label is set to 1 and not 0. You can also go to QSLs - Set QSL Label Flag and see if this makes any difference (i.e. change Label to Y). And finally, when you go to print, do you select Print QSL Labels or Print Labels in Sequence? Try both and see if there is a difference. I never use Sequence so I can't help you there... Good luck.

Re: [Dx4win] printing labels still again..
Well at this time I can not find the .ini file. BUT I downloaded DX4WIN again. Moved a log over and the F2 F8 sequence pattern I am so used to now works. YES the hitting F2 now sets the flag NOW to Y from N. Thanks to you all. and special thanks to Mike W0VTT for helping try and get this resolved over the phone. He took my log and it worked fine so as suggested I reinstalled DX4WIN and it appears to be good for now. I now need to reset preferences etc. I'll let you know. WOW...after all these years this is the first real issue I have ever had with DX4WIN and thanks for all great help out there. de KR4DA Bob On 3/18/2015 1:27 PM, SM5DJZ Jan/John wrote: When You are ready for label-printing, You hit F8 (to clear window) and You add a letter Y in the label box and enter.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Data Updater v. 7.01 released
I've released DX4WIN Data Updater v. 7.01. The release notes are below. I recommend that if you have installed a previous version, that you uninstall it, from the Windows Control Panel (Programs and Features). This will not remove your custom settings. Then install the latest version of the program: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/updater/#history There have been extensive changes, mostly in the area of error checking. If you have any problems during the installation, or with running the program itself, please let me know ASAP. Here are the release notes: 7.01 - 19 March 2015 * Bug fix: ignore corrupt DX4WUPD.INI (settings) file * Bug fix: use all possible methods for checking if DX4WIN is running * Bug fix: last line in DX4WIN.TCP (DX cluster nodes) wasn't being added. Apologies to ZS6RO * Bug fix: direct all internal errors to a pop-up error message window * Feature: real Windows installation program * Feature: Update button is disabled until the user chooses at least one data file to update * Other: -help and -version options work on the command line (again) * Other: BIG code cleanup (Perl Best Practices, etc.) There is still at least one user out there who is having problems. I'm hoping that this new version will bring those problems into the light, so they can be solved. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] printing labels still again..
One other thing I really like that Mike pointed out is the setup of preferences go to F2 setup. He told me to set QSO selection after F2 key Selected Specify new QSO Filter NOW no more F8 after the F2 All verified label printing working good now. de Kr4da Bob On 3/18/2015 2:11 PM, Mike Cizek wrote: Glad it works!!!

[Dx4win] DX4WIN data (and updater) updates coming
Hi Folks, I want to release my new DX4WIN Data Updater soon, but you probably would like something to update first! The Updater has had pretty extensive code changes to improve error detection and handling. Thanks to the folks who help test the fixes. I also fixed a few bugs. There is no new functionality. These are the databases for which I plan to release updates: - awards - master callsigns - membership list The country file update is still a few days out. I have a bunch of updates queued up but no time to make them in my master database. My plan is to upload all the changes tonight (local time, Thursday morning UTC), then send a few E-mails to the reflector. When the E-mail about the DX4WIN Data Updater itself shows up in your mailbox, you can then go ahead and perform the actual update. IMPORTANT: Even though the Updater can update itself, I would prefer that before doing any updates, you first uninstall the current Updater, then install the new one (link will be included in the E-mail). This will ensure that you are using the very latest Updater when performing the data updates. There will be a reminder of this in the announcement E-mail. Thanks 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. the DX4WIN Data Updater web page needs a lot of changes. It was never really revised after I released the GUI version so many years ago. Much of it no longer applies. I won't have time to make the changes until the weekend (at the earliest). I'll see if there are some easy changes I can make tonight before the E-mail announcement. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
