Yeah it would Phil Except for one small possibility. I originally intended to do something similar.
But ..... I knew that sooner or later I would make some monumental mistake. So...what I do is take the extra time and effort first to backup my .mdb files to a safe place. Then COPY the .mdb files to My Documents/Contests. I then copy the contest log to this subdirectory. Run my import saving to this same subdirectory. After I'm sure all went well. I then COPY back to the DXBase directory. Because I do a lot of contests and so do the stations I qsl manage, I have to do these extra steps almost every week. But I've never lost my good, W9OL.mdb file even though I have had imports fail for other reasons. Seems like the 2 minutes of effort is good insurance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil ON4VP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 3:37 AM Subject: [DXBase] location of MDB files Jack, I have my main log (database file ON4VP.MDB) in the standard dxbase directory (.../prog files/.../dxbase2003). I have to import most of my digital mode contacts from other software. Every time I need to navigate trough all subdirs to find my MDB source file. Is it possible to move this file to another directory (f.e. G:\LOGS\ON4VP.MDB) where my other logs are. This would make importing lot faster without having to navigate all the time ... thanks, Phil ON4VP --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.
