Eric,
What I am experimenting with is a photo file of the world and
3 other photo files of the red, green, and yellow pins ... The
Crystal Reports program which I have used to make most of the
reports for DXbase - has the ability to USE photo files (ie: JPG
and BMP, etc) --
No - there is no way for the crystal reports designer to talk
with DXAtlas..

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi again gang,
Thanks to those of you that have responded to my post. Here is some
additional information:
I am using ADSL via an ADTRAN NetVanta 344 DSL modem/router. I don't have
any trouble keeping this machine (HP Pavilion a375c running XP home)
connected to the internet, and I don't have to reset any hardware to get the
telnet cluster to come back up. I only have to close the current internet
cluster window and open a new one. The radio is upstairs (and not networked
in any way to the PC network) while this system is downstairs, and the
problem even happens during the day when I am away at work and not on the
air, so I don't think RFI is an issue. I am able to stay connected to the
cluster (the same cluster I get disconnected from in DXBase) on this same PC
via telnet with no problems. The keep alive timer is enabled and set to 15
minutes. Some clusters are better than others about how long they will stay
connected, but I seem to lose any of them within 4-5 hours.
Any ideas or tips would be appreciated!
73,
Mike, K4GU

To All:
After talking with Eric about his thought on outputting a "pin"
file from DXbase (using the Crystal Reports) -- I have been able
to start writing a "report" that will do just that!! The
report will provide the info needed for making a ( *.lst ) file
which I am calling dxccpins.lst ... That "Ascii" file can
then be "loaded" into the DXAtlas program - and you can see
the status of all of the entities in the "color of the pins".
Since DXAtlas itself doesn't have a "yellow pin" - I am
programming the colors to be:
Red pin = entity not worked at all (Mixed)
Blue pin = entity worked but not cfmd (Mixed)
Green pin = entity worked and cfmd (Mixed)
So, YES!! We can provide a "pin DXCC map" that you can then output
as a bmp photo file and then "print it".
I will be continuing to work on this new report and will advise
when done.. programming ALL of the entities in will just take
time.
Wanted to pass this info along to all as FYI.

Hi Joe,
Sorry for the delayed response, just been on a too busy for computer
week. To answer your first question, the map I used to use was a
standard CQ DXCC map picked up at Dayton, maybe 30 X 40.
This sounds pretty cool what you are working on, and I thank everyone
for their responses! I will check out DXAtlas, think I had the free,
not fully funtional, trial version a while back.
I don't want to make this too difficult, but just an idea. Could the
pin export report be tied to a search function in DXBASE, like the
Output/Countries where you highlight options to get reports, rather
than the full database? That way people could narrow it down for
specific goals, say working on a specific band or mode.
Thanks again for all that you do Joe! Much appreciated.
73 Keith N5RA

in a nut shell i think DxBase needs to be alot more aggressive in the
internet connection !
and be able to connect to more than 1 cluster at a time
