Jack, Thanks for your reply, But am wanting to know if others experience the same problem and how they work around it... Perhaps this is only related to the "Radio Amateur Callbook CD" and not the others... (buckmaster etc, ) can anyone comment on that? If so, how do others get their address labels printed? Just hand edit every single address in your log with a club call in it? Looking for guidance... Thanks... (maybe no one else experiences this?)
Interestingly, if I use the RAC outside of DXBase, it prints labels for these calls correctly, i.e.. the street address and city, state, zip fields are on separate lines... Thanks for all help and guidance... (Jack, I'm not complaining about a bug... just asking for how others deal with this... thanks!)
