The info in the Summary Window is not being completely updated. This problem has occurred in every version of DXBase I have owned (every one them from 2001 thru 2007) but I can never figure out why it happens. For the longest time, I blamed it on my computer, but this is box number three so if it is my system, it follows me from O/S to O/S. Incidentally, the O/S is WinXP and DXBase 2007. Frequently the Summary window works just fine, but often only the band/mode--worked/confirmed area is updated.
I have the program set to update on Internet Window, but the same thing occurs if it is set to DX Info. Likewise, clicking a spot changes only the b/m--w/c area. Although I have HF-Country selected in the Summary drop-down box, and the callsign window and the small box with the binoculars next to it are correctly updated with each incoming spot (or a spot I click on) the SPath, LPath, Distance, Local Time, Sunrise and Sunset details do not change. Those details remain the same and reflect a stateside QSO I logged four hours ago. Likewise, USA-INDIANA remains in the lower left corner of the Summary Window. What's up with that? Anybody else experience this? I'm sure it's something obvious, but what am I missing?

I tried doing the migration using an ADIF export and then import - and then initialize the stats tables. This simply didn't work very well - sure, the log data came over, but the initialize table procedure didn't seem to connect all the links that it does when you do the "normal / documented" migration. Just a "wacky theory" - I'm an Oracle DBA, so I tried to get fancy and shot myself in the foot. It humbled me back to reading the manual and following the instructions verbatim. I doubt you did something as "creative" as I did - but I figure I would throw this out - just FYI. 73, Rich -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Greg Tomerlin - K4KO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > The info in the Summary Window is not being completely updated.
