Wouldn't you also have to add the info for YT6, YT3, YU3, 4O3 and 4O6, thus:
In the Alias Map table:
Map PFX = YT6
Pri PFX = YU6
Old1 PFX = YU
Old1 Date = 2006-07-2006
and similarly for YT3, YU3, 4O3 and 4O6?
(and perhaps for KH8S also might WH8S and AH8S be needed at some point)

Subject: [Dxbase] database problems
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I maintain DxBase 2006 on 2 computers, they are both current. All records are
the same on both. My problem is this I messed up my prefixes on one computer
(by adding yu6 as yu) now I can't get the prefix data base to initialize
corretly. No problem i'll just copy my backup database (k4em) from my backup
computer to this computer. Which I have done at 30 times over the years and
never had a problem.
The issue is this; the k4em.mdb database file on one computer is 78mb and the
other one (that is working fine) is only 22mb. Again all qso records are the
same; in fact I reloaded dxbase 2006 on this computer about one month ago and
simply copied my backup k4em.mdb file (22mb) to the new dxbase program I just
installed and everything is working. Or was until I messed up the yu prefix.
I looked back at some backup databases on a cdrom and they are all around 20mb
or so which seems to match one computer.
Both computers run WinXP pro. Again both programs (except for the messed up
databse) are EXACTLY the same; meaning both are configured the same. One
version does not have any different setups, configurations or anything that is
different between the two.
Any ideas?

The *.mdb data bases can contain a lot of deadwood. If you will run the
DXB Utility and select the DXB Database you can compress the databases
to the same or perhaps nearly the same sizes.
I also have a 'Save' folder in my DXBase2006 directory and regularly
copy N5IN.mdb and refdata.mdb to it in case I ever have to restore, and
I have had to on occasion. Simply copying them back to the main is all
you have to do. Thus before making any significant changes to refdata
or just to preserve important Q's you should end DXBase and copy these
two files to the 'Save' folder in case you have to restore them.

This underlines how tricky the mapping can be. The facility to import an
updated master country list should, in my view, be top of the development
list for the next version.
