Eric I wonder if it might not be better to mark (in your DXBase 2006 log) these q's as invalid. See the 'valid' column and remove the checks from the two options. Then these Q's will remain in your log, but will not show up in reports (if you have the 'valid DXCC' box checked in the selection wizard). It's not perfect I suppose, but it works for me.

I was K3sew in Maine, New York and Pennsylvania. I want to be able to submit my logs to the World Log Book and give DX stations and others credit for the contact with the state I was located in. In addition, is there a way to use DxBase 2006 and the World Log Book for county hunters to designate the county from which they operated mobile from so as to give state & county credit to folks who worked you?

Can I assume that these changes will be implemented in newer versions? How often is the software updated? For example, would the recent download for the final version of the DXCC Mixed report and the DXCC Band report be in the 2006 upgrade if I ordered it? Is there a list of upgrades from 2005 to 2006?

I am the person who has made and is making the various reports that you are talking about in your email. I make then only for DXbase2006 - BUT, Jim, the DXbase2006 that you would download (when you buy it) will not have the new files that I have made (since the release of DXbase2006 back in May of 2005). Those files you would simply download separately and save to your folders in DXbase2006. The current 2006 download would include files that I had made and submitted to Jack - BEFORE the 2006 release in May 2005. The updates that Jack himself has made and posted to his dxbase.com website for the DXbase 2006 program (exe file) will also not be in the 2006 download -- you would download them separately and install them. There are many users who can help you once you order DXbase2006. If you are not comfortable downloading the "additional" files, you might be able to ask for help from a user. 73, Joe WA6AXE JNMazzoni wrote: > I am a basic user of dxbase and am not comfortable downloading the various > fixes, upgrades and changes that seem to be coming at a regular rate. > > Can I assume that these changes will be implemented in newer versions?
