I have been successfully using the RAC (Flying Horse) database on my hard drive for several years to look up call signs through DX4WIN's EXT DATA routine. This weekend I picked up a copy of QRZ's current database and attempted to do the same thing, i.e copy the database to my HD and access the callsign info from the HD. For some mysterious reason that doesn't work.
Although I have declared C:\program files\qrz ham radio\callbk as my data directory in the preferences>EXT DATA menu, I get a "database not found" error. However, if I put the original CD ROM in my ROM drive, it returns the proper information. In other words, despite my declaring the C: drive as the data drive, DX4WIN is getting the data from the CD ROM and refuses to access the C: drive when the CD ROM is removed. I switched back to use the RAC database on my HD and that works fine. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Samuels) Date: Mon Sep 6 17:31:13 2004 Subject: [Dx4win] QSO Window References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> These boxes are part of the most powerful aspect of DX4WIN. When you "submit" for an award (for example, Reports | DXCC | Submission), each QSO that is selected for that award will get its Submitted box automatically set. When a confirmation from the award manager comes in, you can manually change Submitted to Checked, or use Reports | Change Award Flags to change them all at once. While there are Submitted flags on, you will see them in the listings and summaries. A group number, 001 is the default, is set for each QSO. You have the ability to create other named groups (the numbers increment) for you own tracking purposes. For example, if I go into the CQ WW RTTY 2004 context, I will create a new group for that and make it active. Each QSO I log will contain that group number until I turn it off, or the dates I've specified for that contest expire. Later, if I wish, perhaps, to export just those QSOs, I can use the group number to select them. Other folks use other calls while traveling to other countries and use a group number to keep them, "separate." The Valid QSO box can be set if the DXCC committee decides that the station you QSOed is not a valid one for that country. Perhaps he was a pirate or did not obtain his license from the correct authority, for example. This box checked will cause your QSO to be ignored for awards. I haven't looked recently, but all of this information should be in the help files.
