Good afternoon to all!
I have finished the last in the Progress Report series. This last report will show (after a contest or just searching the log) the "All-time" New one - yes - an entity that you have never ever worked before on any band; and, also shows the new "band-entities". This last report of the series uses the "dropdown Calendar feature" - and to make it work properly, the only item of information that I need is what your SHORT DATE setup is in your computer's CONTROL PANEL / Regional Settings / Short Date. Once I have that info - then I can send you the proper "version" that will work with your own computer's setup. I like the Calendar feature over the manually "type-it-in" method of setting up the contest begin date and contest end date. If anyone is interested in this report - or the whole series of reports (6 of them) - pse email me directly .. For the 2006 users who I have been working with recently, I will be sending you the new report automatically. Hpe you all are having a great weekend. 73 Joe wa6axe From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 6 15:21:49 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Thomas F Lewis) Date: Mon Jun 6 16:06:46 2005 Subject: [Dxbase] backups are important & COM2 problem Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Remember do to backups often. The hardfile in the computer that I use at my station quit. Fortunately I had a backup on a USB memory key. I changed to a new machine with Windows XP. Both DXBase and N1MM logger would not communicate with my rig on the serial port. The new computer has two serial ports and a modem, COM1 COM2 and the modem is COM3. COM1 worked okay with my TNC. COM3 okay for the modem but I could not get COM2 to work on the radio. The old computer did not have this problem, It has the same configuration with two serial ports and the modem, also running windows XP. CW keying is done via the parallel port and that works okay. After a while I tried COM4 for the radio. That works for both DXbase and N1MM logger. Device manager shows COM1 and COM2 on the standard addresses. So If you are having problems with the ports on XP try the extra ones that are shown in the software. 73 Tom N4TL
