A couple of weeks ago I found out similar problem with Logbook window, = Report editor.
When you right-click on the report window and choose new (report) to = create a new report and try to edit ??noname report??=20 to replace it with a meaningful name DX4win does not allow you to type a = different name for the report if there exists another older report = starting with the same first letter. For example: If I try to name a new report as LogBook2, DX4win chooses immediately = existing LogBook -report when I hit the letter L. The solution at the moment seems to be to use a different starting = letter in each report. 73, Teijo OH6NIO ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Jim Reisert AD1C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2003 3:14 AM Subject: [Dx4win] Error creating new selection names > A while back I reported a problem with creating new filter selection=20 > names.
