First off. I THINK if you go to User Options and choose both TNC or Internet, you can select to Save Needed DX spots or choose DO NOT USE in the DXInfo Options.
I THINK that you probably have it selected to Do Not Use and that's why no spots are populating the DXInfo Window. But I don't THINK you can have it both ways. Get ALL SPOTS without growing your .mdb files. But it MAY help if you lower the Max Packet Lines. But I doubt it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Jim Spears" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 8:36 PM Subject: Re: [DXBase] problem with alerts > Courtney- > > This is something that has concerned me a little bit.
