I use a slow, limited capability laptop at the operating position for initial logging.
The qsling and awards tracking is done on my desktop. I use a LAN to pass data between computers and do an import from laptop to desktop and when I'm sure all is well, I compact the log.mdb and copy it back to the laptop and zip it and send it to my ISP/homepage for offsite backup. Last night during a lull in the CW contest, I did some bookkeeping on the laptop; entering in some qsls received yesterday. For instance JT1/K4ZW for 80 meters. I just did my import to the desktop, initialized tables and took a look at stats for 80 meters. It still shows JT worked but not confirmed. Further checking reveals that for the newly entered qsls the stats did not change; the "CFM" box is not checked. Shouldn't "CFM" be a parameter that should be passed along during an import? or am I missin' sumpthin'? Wes N7WS ps. In troubleshooting this, I took a look (using Access) at the refdat.mdb and noted that the packet spots table has a bunch of stuff in it. I have never been on packet in my life, where did this come from?
