I think I've discovered an possible error in the
DXbase import routine (the .mdb import not the
non-DBB import).  This import routine seems to
import more than just QSO even if that's the only
box you check.

Here is what I did when attempting to import my
weekend contest log:
1) I imported the contest log into a virgin DXB
file.  I did this so I could review it before
importing into my master log.

2) I then imported only the QSOs into my master
log.  I did index the source file before
importing.  I got the following error:

"The changes you requested to the table were not
successful because they would create duplicate
values in the index, primary key, or relationship.
Change the data in the field or fields that
contain duplicate data, remove the index, or
redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and
try again.AA4LU"

Again the AA4LU was deleted from both target and
source files prior to import.  So, is there the
DXB import file? My database, is it corrupted?

I finally did a direct non-DXB import and that
worked fine.

BTW the above incident is an argument for
maintaining multiple backups.  Had I only gone
back one backup I'd have been out of luck.
