Rick, I posted this on March 5th --- hope it helps you --- Karl N1DL snip ... problem: DXBase cannot find the key and therefore stays in Trial mode.
solution: The software cannot handle the automatic placement of the key in both the 32 bit and the 64 bit registry. Therefore it is necessary to make a modification to the 64 bit registry in VISTA 64. BACK UP THE REGISTRY FIRST ! 1) go the system prompt 2) click on "start search" and type in regedit and do a "enter" 3) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click on it 4) find the folder "Wow6432Node" and in it place a new folder "Scientific Solutions" and into this one another " Dxb2007" 5) in that folder create a new entry called "Key" (you will have to rename the new key#1 into Key) 6) go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the existing 32 bit folder that says Scientific Solutions and under Key copy the text string associated with it, 7) go back to the new folder created in the Wow6432Node as Key and past the text value into it. 8) close the registry Restart DXbase2007 and it will work. 73 de Karl N1DL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 10:39 PM Subject: [Dxbase] Using Vista > Please reply to Rick or the reflector.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ive got a couple of questions about label printing. Is there a numerical limit as to how many labels can be printed at once? I print my info direct to the card and was going to print abt 49 for some reason on 30 some printed. What do you have to change to print a label twice? When I went to pick up the missing labels dxbase wouldnt let me add a label cuz it would be a duplicate? Was wondering if the first situation was just a program hiccup or not. Mike/aj9c
