Re: [Dx4win] Not saving updates from QRZ

[n4qs]

Jim and John,

I just replicated the problem here as well.  I am a QRZ subscriber, so
normally when making a QSO I hit Update QSO in the Callsign/Mgr lookup.  But
I have found it does not update with new data unless the field in the
logging window is blank.  For example, if I have already worked the station
and from a previous contact have a four digit grid entered, the update will
not change that entry -- even though QRZ is showing the entire six digit
grid.  I have to delete the prior value and then click on Update QSO.  The
new six digit value is then entered into the empty grid field.  Same goes
for name, city, county -- any of the other fields.

So when it comes to county, I just found a prior QSO that did not have a
county filled in.  I attempted to Update QSO from the Callsign/Mgr lookup
window.  The county shows up in the log entry window and then I save.  But
when I reopen that QSO, the new county info is not there.  Like Jim said, I
have to do it two or three times.  I noticed that the original blank county
field had two dashes (--).  My theory is that the program sees those two
dashes and assumes that the county field has data in it, and then does not
update the new data.  You have to click in that field to get it to delete
the -- and then it appears that the new data will fill and then be saved.
Not exactly sure about this behavior, but it appears to be consistent with
how the other fields get updated.

73,

Dave, N4QS

The third time (once the state had been saved), I was able to change the

Re: [Dx4win] Not saving updates from QRZ

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

This is very repeatable.  I had it happen again.

Find a QSO in your log with a state/county.  remember the call.

Now log a fake QSO with a fake call.

Go bak to the QSO you just logged, and change the call to the other
call, then TAB.  State/county should populate from the previous QSO.
Without saving, change the state/county to something else.  Now type
ENTER to save the changes.  You'll get the new call with the old
state/county.

Change the state/county again, then type ENTER.  State will change,
county will not.

Change the county a third time, then ENTER.  County will finally change.

Re: [Dx4win] Not saving updates from QRZ

I tried again to change the state and county.  The state stayed SC,
but the county was blank.

 John, I think I have seen this myself, but only in version 9.  I still
 can't tell what causes it, and it does not happen all the time, only
 sometimes.

Re: [Dx4win] Not saving updates from QRZ

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I had this happen this morning.  It's not necessarily related to QRZ.

I had logged a QSO as K3D/MAR because I did not know the callsign.

I then changed the Call to K3TD/M and the previous QSO information
came up (NC/Duplin county).  I changed this to SC/Marlboro and entered
49 as the group number, then ENTER to save the QSO changes.

The callsign and group number stayed (values I entered).  The
state/county was left as NC/Duplin.

There is something wrong, I hope Paul can find it!

Jim, I just noticed that it started on Dec 11th, 2017. Once in a while 
it was OK. When I would try and update it now, it will sometimes save 
the Grid, but not the county. I have to manually put that it. Wish I

I just noticed that when I put a callsign in, and update it from the 
Callsign/Mgr lookup window, it is not saving them when after I log the
