Hi Bill, ???? Why????
You say you created a special column format yet you didn't put time where you wanted it. Why not just change the order of the columns? I also am inputing some old none-confirmed-QSO logs and I set DXBase's columns as an exact match to the old logs. Why couldn't you do that? And here's a bonus tip I learned the hard was, always put the mode in front of the RSTs and RSTr columns even if the columns in the log you are transcribing are not in that order. 73, Art W2NRA Art Searle Director of Finance/Treasurer [EMAIL PROTECTED] (631) 730-4084 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of FireBrick Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 8:43 AM To: DXBase List Subject: [DXBase] I found a usefull tool I've been transcribing some VERY old logs into DXB and then to LoTW. Lots of typing. I created a special Column format with just the info I need to upload to LoTW. I had one small problem. After entering the callsign I wish to go directly to the TIME field of the next entry. Hitting return just advances to each field and eventually gets me there. But that's time consuming and I have to watch the screen. Hitting a down arrow and two left arrows gets me there. But that means taking my fingers off the home keys as I can't quite reach the arrow keys. Inadvertently I'd miss and not notice as I'm looking and trying to decipher the log page scribbling. I found a small macro program (not free), that allowed me to remap the "program open" key on my Microsoft style keyboard. It's the key between the right CTR and Windows keys. I made a macro that allows me to do a DOWN, LEFT, LEFT, which returns me to the TIME field to enter the next log line info.
