Bob, First - I didn't see what version of DXbase you are running right now??
So, I will simply generalize my comments -- here are my answers to your questions: 1 - Correct - the program knows which labels are printed.. If you KNOW that you have printed ALL of your Group #2 and you want to answer NO to deleting those Group #2 labels at that time -- you can easily later on - go to Output/ Empty Labels / and specify Group #2 .. 2 - There of course is a way to view the labels pending database via Tools / Database Access / Labels / QSO labels TAB ... AND, there is also a STANDARD REPORT under Output / Standard Reports / Database Topics / Label Topics / with the filename of qsolabel.rpt That is only the methods you could use to VIEW the contents of the Labels Pending database -- as far as a strict "crosscheck" report that would bang together your qso log against your labels pending database -- nada! That I know of .. BUT, I can make you one (if you like??) ??? 3 - You do not need to look at the label pending database using ACCESS (though you can) - because you can view the database straight away within DXbase itself .. or use the report I talked about in #2 above ... I would strongly recommend simply viewing the pending database from within DXbase... And - "if" you will tell me whether you want to have me make a QUICK report for you -- it will be of the Standard Report variety --- that report "will" show you the QSO's from your logbook (with the qso sent date) that are equal to the qsos you have in your labels pending database.. Just let me know your wishes Bob! 73 Joe wa6axe Bob Hess wrote: > Long time user, back to the DOS days, but not a power user. > > Questions: > > 1 - Regarding the Pending Labels database.

I had this error and checked - double checked - tripled checked every change made from your instructions and finally gave up, put the my log data and DXCC reference data back as it was. Then, just now opened my e-mail to find you have a 'fix'. Grrrrrrrr! Joe, all kidding aside you are a valued lifesaver (or is that data saver?) and I for one move that Jack gives you a raise. Do I have any seconders? The only other interesting thing found with my log is that I have worked YT6A at least 9 times. Seven of the entries show him as a YU prefix and the last two show him as a YU6 prefix. So my questions are, did Ranko move? Was my reference data base changed some time in the past or is it time for me to get new eyeglasses? ---------- Jack, a kind thanks for that explanation of how the refdata works a few e-mails back. Myself for one did not realize how much information was packed into that file. There is no doubt with the world being in a dynamic state of flux these days there will be another change or two down the road someday, thankfully I am just now finding DXB has the flexibility to keep up with the changes.
