I don't use dxbase as a real-time logger, rather I enter my paper logs when I have the time. Except contest logs which I import as .ADI files. My question is about how to outsmart dxbase. It continually tries to tell me what I should be entering, which I suppose is to prevent errors, but to me is extremely annoying. I've turned off all the autofills and defaults I can find in the settings but it still insists on putting a QSO end-time from the current clock on QSO's I enter from months ago. So I have to go back after every so many entries and delete them. Windows copy and paste tools don't seem to work in dxbase so if I have a comment that applies to 5 or 10 Q's I have to type in each comment individually.
Now today it's come up with a new objection. I have been entering my logs from the last few months with no complaint from dxbase and all of a sudden it will not take any more Q's. I get the message that "The field 'QSO-TAB.QSO-CQ-ZONE' can't contain a Null value because the Required property for the this field is set to True. Enter a value the this field." I don't see any field with that name. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I have used dxbase since the 2004 release and I still don't think it, nor any other program that has come along is any better than WJ2O's. I understand people must move on, but Dave was on the right track.
