Dave I guess you stopped for coffee in the middle if it took you that long?? :-)
Seriously I cannot see what the fuss is all about. I too updated my DXBase in about 20 minutes (including coffee), and have always been happily adding the new countries that came along, plus various prefix changes and IOTA updates and new QSL managers ..the list goes on. DXBase is that versatile. Maybe it does look "hard" on the surface but it is not when you try yourself Always take the precaution of saving the data before you try and then you can always go back a step But you all do that already - right? 73 Fred A65BD - G4BWP user since DOS ver. 2 ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "dxbase" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 05, 2010 12:34 AM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] DXBase 2007 > > 20 minutes ..
