Thanks to everyone for the comments. I think I tried every suggestion here but I did not hit F10 when saving the revised log entry (VP8G - I might have said VP8H in one of my replies but meant VP8G). I should note that the pull-down menu came up when I logged the first VP8GEO and I clicked on VP8G. It was after that when I noticed that my numeric stats had not been updated, despite reinitializing the database. I then re-entered VP8GEO into the prefix mapping database, which was, obviously, after I had logged the contact. Obviously this is a cockpit problem. I printed out all of your emails and will try it again tonight.

Did you add VP8GEO to the prefix mapping table before or after logging the QSO? To be accurate you should have added it to the "Call Map" tab in the Prefix database. If u added it since the QSO was logged you need to go the QSO in the log and change the Prefix manually from VP8 to VP8G. DXBase does not act retrospectively on QSOs. If u change it manually be sure to save the change by pushing F10 or clicking in another cell of the same or another QSO. Try doing a Table Initialise? To give u hope, I worked VP8GEO on 12m, when I logged the QSO I changed it to VP8G from VP8 that DXBase suggested, and was prompted to save that mapping call. All my stats and tables are correct so it DOES work! 73 Fred G4BWP - K6BWP - 9G5FH - XT2WP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hess, Robert P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'DXBase'" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 6:46 PM Subject: [DXBase] South Georgia Logging Problem > Please ignore my previous post. > > > I have a problem getting DXBase 2002 to accept VP8GEO as South Georgia.
