Hi Neal, I connect my pc to the internet via an RJ11 to my router. I very seldom connect to the internet when using DXBase. I connected yesterday to see if that still worked and it did and had no problems. Other of course than closing down the program. 73 Pete N4KW ----- Original Message ----- From: Neal Campbell To: Pete-N4KW Cc: jim cowan ; Gary AL9A ; [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 3:56 PM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Trouble closing DXBase
Pete are you using the LPT port or serial ports or the internet? Usually this type of symptom is a program waiting for something external to happen and it never does! 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 NEW PHONE NUMBER Amateur Radio: K3NC Blog: http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/blog/ DXBase bug reports: email to [email protected] Abroham Neal forums: http:/www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/community/ On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 3:51 PM, Pete-N4KW <[email protected]> wrote: Jim, great question, I am just straight saving, and will look in the directory Jim. 73 Pete N4KW ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim cowan" <[email protected]> To: "Pete-N4KW" <[email protected]>; "Gary AL9A" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 8:37 AM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Trouble closing DXBase > When you are saving -- are you overwriting or just a straight save -- if > so -- look in your directory to see if you have duplicate files..
