Why would you want to split your logs in the first place? If you want to increase your totals say on the DXCC or challenge your old logs would help you out with totals if they were not split up. DXBase will notify you when you need a new one to work.
If you want to split them for other reasons. then what you may want to do is split them up like Jack said then make another one up where you merged them all to geather. You used that merged one as your main log.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Everyone Took me a while to go throught this problem and to get to the bottom of it. One of my problems was I did not reboot the computer after installing dxb2006.exe patch. Another was having Mixed, Phone, CW boxes all check at the same time, because having too many things checked causes the program to become unstable, thus displying wrong information. Third, was in the QSO Record Filters not having the box checked for EXCLUDE PAST SUBMISSIONS. Fourth, I ran the report called dxccredited.rpt found duplicate QSO that were cedit as for AWARD with DXCC box checked with the same call sign, band and mode. Some had the same dates while others did not. There were a couple that were dated before 1975. To my surprise, I had also selected AWARD with DXCC box checked for the same country same band same mode with another ARRL sumission in the log. I am amazed that I found these. I think the major thing was duplicates. Dublicats need to looked at in a different light. Let me define the the word duplicate or duplicates from what I found: Same call, Same dates, same band, same mode Same call, different dates, same band, same mode Same call, same dates, same band, different mode Different call, same dates, same band, same mode Different call, different dates, same band, same mode Different call, same dates, same band, different mode A few DUPLICATES were found dated before 1974 and had the above patterns As far as I can tell there may still be one or two that I may have missed. There is at least one that I know of that was dated before 1975 that I got Band or mixed credit by the ARRL, NOT mode credit. That one was not replaced yet cause I have not worked another. This is where the problem starts, by replaceing thame with something more current and you creat a DUPLICATE. The duplicates that I know for sure exist for the same band but different modes, are there because of the ARRL gave me credit for these contacts, for CW and PHONE. Now the problem I see is that the ARRL duplicates for the same band the DXBase AWARDS program might get confused along with QSO's that got AWARD DXCC credit on/before the 1975 date. Is this conclusion wrong? There is an LOTW duplicate report that I ran before all of this and came up clean. SURE would be nice to have a more comprehensive duplicate report for DXCC to find them and note weather they need to be unchecked for AWARD DXCC. The flaw in this comes where the ARRL information must be enterd accurately. Therefore, instead of tell us to uncheck the DXCC box, the report says or puts a "X" in a column that says check your ARRL credits for a descrepency. Once these are fixed the Awards program would be less unstable because the ARRL duplicates for the same band the DXBase AWARDS program might get confused along with QSO's that got AWARD DXCC credit on/before the 1975 date still exist. Specical thanks to a certain preson who help me understand the program. I do not know if that person wanted to be named cause I did not ask.

Drake) Date: Sat Jun 11 10:01:11 2005 Subject: [Dxbase] Unexpected Summary Window Response Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I recently upgraded to DXBase 2006 and I am seeing a response that I don't expect. It's kind of confusing but I'll try to explain it and give an example. With the User Options Internet set for Screen Updates for DX Info Window I double click in a Summary Window (HF-Country) band/mode box to open the Previous QSO Window it displays the expected info for the country, band and mode OK in the Previous QSO Window. If a new spot then comes up in the Internet Cluster Window and the new spot is not selected in the Alerts options to appear in the DX Info Window the Summary Window doesn't change (as I expect) but when I double click on a band/mode box in the Summary Window to open the Previous QSO Window again it now opens to the country, band and mode for the new spot in the Internet Cluster Window even though the Summary Window and DX Info Windows haven't changed. Example - 9H1JJ spot appears in the Internet Cluster Window for 17 CW. This is a needed spot based on my Alerts setting so the spot also appears in the DX Info Window. The Summary window also updates to show 9H and the box for 17 CW is highlighted in bright green. I double click on any band/mode box in the Summary Window and the Previous QSO Window opens to show my previous 9H QSO's for that band and mode. (all OK so far). Next I close the Previous QSO Window. Now a spot for A61AJ on 20 Phone comes up in the Internet Cluster Window. Because of the Alert settings and I have already confirmed A6 on 20 Phone there is no change in the DX Info Window and the Summary Window still shows the 9H info. (still all OK). Now I double click on a band/mode box in the Summary Window to show the 9H info again and the Previous QSO Window opens showing the A6 info for the band and mode even though the Summary Window is till showing 9H. Can anyone explain why this is happening? I expect that the Previous QSO Window would always show the information for the country displayed in the Summary Window when I double click in a band/mode box. Dale, AA1QD
