To all: Since the "Counties" column in our QSO Logbook is being used for the USA-CA (Counties Award) -- the listed "Counties" of course are "keyed-to" the list that is used for the Counties Award.. I guess from what I am seeing on the Reflector so far -- the problem is coming into play - when someone is located in or lists their county as "one of the counties not USED in the Counties Award website"..

The BIGGEST problem comes in when we try to make a QSL card file for printing to a "Single piece of card stock" -- and NOT to an 8.5 X 11" piece of paper.. As an example, the HP printer -- when setting up the paper tray for a single 3.5 X 5.0" card stock -- when you adjust the alignment tools -- BOTH sides of the alignment pulls in/out -- thereby ALWAYS making it so that the card is "CENTERED" in the tray --- Whereas - on my Lexmark InkJet 5000 printer -- when I do ANY printing from the paper tray - alignment is ALWAYS push over to the far-right side ---- I ONLY pull-in on the alignment tool from left to right -- so, in my case, I always am off-centered to the right for printing.. After talking with Ron today, I can sure see that in the case of "single" QSL cards being printed (either printing the WHOLE QSL card face -- or even just the QSO data on the front of back of the card stock -- we WOULD have to make 2 separate label/qsl card files -- so that both the printer like mine and the printer like Ron's can use the file --- we would just NAME the file slightly different so that the user could differentiate between which one to use for his/her situation.. IF any DXbase user still has not been able to get his/her QSL card "single card" to print properly - pse send an email and we should be able to get it going now.. 73 to all!

Yes - I'm aware that they actually use Boroughs not counties. My son lives in Anchorage. This was the reference I made on the '27 counties' thing and probably is a good source for the errors. .73 Sandy W4DUP http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/maps/alaska_map.html
