I meant for my previous post to append "this" email... here it is again... (sorry for the "foobar" a moment ago...)
--------------- I am still vexed by this problem... Especially since Field Day where a large number of stations worked are actually clubs and the mailing address info never formats correctly... I thought it might be the Radio Amateur Callbook CD specific, (as opposed to Buckmaster or others) but when I use RAC CD with other programs, i.e. Win-EQF for example, address labels format just fine. WinEQF is vastly inferior to DXBase, especially the QSL and Address formating features in the designer, but I cannot seem to get these "club" address to format properly in DXBase... I am very interested if this is specific to my configuration or if others experience this and if so, how they work around it... Since Field Day, I'm looking at a large number of "manually" re-formatting of addresses... Please? any comments, tips, suggestions?
