Hi, I just upgraded to Version 6.03 and can't get the logbook to go into landscape mode. Suggestions?

You should subscribe to the go list. The author has been working only on qsl managers for over 25 years and he has not got a database with all correct starting and ending data bases yet, that is the best data base available. I am sure logger 32 gives mostly correct answers, but it is very expensive and time consuming to get that last 10% correct and without it, you will waste a lot of money qsling. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe - WD?M Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 11:09 PM To: Wendell Wyly - W5FL; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Jerry Dorsky'; Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: RE: [Dx4win] External database versus qrz.com on the internet. I don't think it's a problem - any database is only as good as the data in it. Same goes with the database for QSL managers within DX4WIN. It's interesting that, if there really were "so many problems to doing that", it was done in Logger 32. 73, Joe WD?M At 10:00 PM 11/24/2004, Wendell Wyly - W5FL wrote: >There are so many problems to doing that, it will never happen.
