Neal and Joe,
Sorry for breaking in on the OP's thread, but it's timely for me. For reasons unrelated to DXbase, I'm converting (reloading from scratch, that is) my DXbase machine from Win 7 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit. So I thought I'd try the 1.09 beta install. I downloaded it from here yesterday http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/DXB2007_109.zip I didn't let the installer install DXbase in its default location. I redirected it to D:\Ham Radio\DXbase2007\ since that's where I wanted it (for ease of backup with my normal backup method). On first running of the software after installation, I also got the Select Data Source dialog. Couldn't do anything with it, so I had to stop and come here. (a) Joe said to check the paths in my dxb2007.ini file. Well, there's no dxb ini file anywhere in \Windows or any subdirectory. In fact, there's no such file anywhere on my C: drive. Dxb2007.ini only exists in the DXbase install directory itself. I didn't find any section in this file labeled like [path], but I did find a section labeled [dir], and indeed all the paths were wrong. They pointed to C:\projects\DXbase2007, which is neither my actual install directory or the installer's default. I changed them all to point to my install directory. But next time running the program, I still got the data source dialog. (b) Neal said to make sure the run as administrator checkbox was set in properties. Well, I don't think permanently running the program as administrator is a good solution because then I would get the screen-dimming and the "do you really want to run this program as administrator" dialog every time I started DXbase. But just to test things, I right clicked and ran DXbase as administrator just one time. I didn't get the data source dialog! In fact, I no longer get it even not running as administrator, and DXbase appears to run okay (in trial mode) after just that one time running as administrator. I don't think 1.09 is ready for prime time yet, but that's why it's called Beta, I guess. I'm reporting the above in that spirit. Now, to try registering it. 73, John, W1JA From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neal Campbell Sent: Sunday, 04 September 2011 3:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [dxbase] Data Source Dialog on startup Make sure that you set the "run as administrator" checkbox set in the compatibility tab of DXBase's properties. 73 On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 3:40 PM, Peter W2IRT <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, Something nasty has happened in the last day or so; I'm guessing it's a Microsoft update that broke something in DX Base. When I attempt to start up DX Base I now get a box asking me to SELECT DATA SOURCE. I have NO idea what I need to select here or why this suddenly occurred after years of trouble-free operation. Using v1.07 under Win7/64.
