I am stumped. I want to add a new country, Montenegro, to my ver 5.03.
I already have previously successfully added the earlier new ones months
back but now am stuck using the FAQ notes. After filling all the
requested fields, I go to step 6 in the instructions ("Select
Mappings|Add") . I get a "Command not executed. Going to correct
page" But what do I do then? If I click OK and go on, then a
similar warning sign shows up after step 9.
Maybe my third word in the above text should read, stupid.
I don't need all these bells and whistles for my DX logging and am
totally baffled by the instructions for installing new CTY updates so
have always before been able to do it the hard way/manually one at a time
as they come into being. All my DXing for the past 10 years has been
entirely as a mobile so no need for niceties like cluster work, radio
control, etc. All I need is a database that keeps track of my off-line
entered contacts and country score. Anyone know of a simpler program I
could move to?
Thanks

Hi Bud, and the reflector...
I like to edit the country database by hand, too...
To add a new country, you may following these steps:
1) On the main menu: File > Databases > Countries
2) On the Country Editor: Country > Add, and then fill the fields in the
upper part of the window and those in the Details tab. Before going to any
other tab, click on Country > Update.
3) Click on the Mappings tab, then click on Mapping > Add, and add any
mapping prefix for the new country. You may press Ctrl-Insert or
Ctrl-Delete to insert or delete a line. Before going to any other tab,
click on Mappings > Update.
4) If you want to add some specific callsigns to the country, click on the
Callsigns tab, then click on Calls > Add, and add the callsigns. As before,
you may press Ctrl-Insert or Ctrl-Delete to insert or delete a line. Before
going to any other tab, click on Calls > Update.
5) Click on File > Check for Errors, to detect any error in the database.
If any (mostly overlapping of some prefixes), correct them before closing
the Country Editor.
6) Once satisfied with the changes, click on File > Save and Exit.
