I am in the process of converting to DXBase and the creation of a QSL report on the back on my QSLs is going slow. I can find answers to most of my questions by reading pages of help files, but is there a procedure written that will guide one through the process?? Thanks,

Examples are 'Cardback_9Q....' and 'ContestQSL_20Q.....' I did the first of these and you can see printed examples at http://www.dxspots.com/CardBack_9Q_ReadMe.htm That example is for an earlier design for DXBase2004, but the version for 2006 looks more or less the same. As far as guidance in making your own, about all I can suggest is looking at existing designs, and bringing them up in the Tools\Design List Project\ in 2006 and see if you can figure them out. That is what I did when doing my design...and there were many false starts.

Once again, our beta team did an outstanding job of guiding us through the process and testing to make sure that DXbase continues to be rock solid. We are currently getting the web site and files ready for release and hope to have that completed in the next several days. We think you'll like some of the new features that allow you to have IOTAs alerted similar to the way DX spot alerts work. Makes chasing IOTA a piece of cake. You'll also like the new feature so that when you click on a DX/IOTA spot to QSY, DXbase will now automatically select radio1 or radio 2 along with rotor1 or rotor2. And, once you work that needed one, you can add it to a new Exclude database so that future DX/IOTA spots don't alert you unnecessarily. Our beta team seemed to like this feature best of all. All the new countries and IOTAs are in the database so nothing to add. We've added the ability to automatically lock the packet windows when your mouse enters that window and automatically unlock the window a few seconds after your mouse cursor stops moving in the window. We will be posting other feature changes on our web site in the next few days. For those who upgrade from DXbase 2006, you'll be pleased to know that nearly all of your current options, screen settings/colors, etc... are retained so that there is very little necessary to start using the new release. For those using earlier versions, you'll have a little more setup to establish some of the new options that you've been missing out on. Once again, our hat is off the the beta team. Thanks, Jack
