[Dx4win] QRZ Error: Database not found
Hi, The problem is that you're using an outdated DLL. There are two DLL's on the CDROM, one which is installed in the Developer's directory and one which is installed when you perform the QRZ Setup. The older DLL requires that the data be located in D:\callbk whereas the newer DLL will allow the data to be anywhere. You should do a File-Search and look for all copies of qrz32.dll on your system. Remove all copies that you find and then insert the QRZ CDROM and run Setup.EXE. This will install the new and correct DLL. Once you're done, it may be necessary to place a copy of this DLL in the DX4WIN folder (perhaps). 73, -fred On Jun 13, 2006, at 5:06 AM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: At 05:43 PM 6/11/2006, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: I set up my DX4WIN preferences as follows: Data Source: QRZ CDRom Data Directory: E:\QRZ Ham Radio When I try to use F3 lookup I get the following error: QRZ Error: Database not found Thanks for the help folks.

I don't know why it worked for a little while from the hard drive, then stopped working. This is on Windows XP Professional with all the service packs, etc. installed. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS using the GOlist GOWIN software, so I don't think it's specific to DX4WIN. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.us Fred Lloyd AA7BQ Founder, QRZ.COM [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Dx4win] ADIF Import question
Very good point Alan, and I have the SAME CALL window open all the time and use that very piece of information, often I will comment to a station when having a QSO that it is good to get there name as our other QSO's are all contest ones. Just to re iterate one point though, use the same group each year for the same contest. Saves using all those groups and you can still tell at a glance which year it was by the date. If you really need to home in on one year just make a selection with a date filter. This sort of thing is what attracted me to DX4WIN in the first place, there is hardly a task that cant be achieved with a little thought and observation. 73 John ZL1BYZ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Zack Sent: Thursday, 15 June 2006 1:20 p.m. To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] ADIF Import question This is the way I do it also.

[Dx4win] ADIF Import question
Yep, guys, I'm convinced -- this will work great! I did not realize I could get the group NAME to appear in the log, or in the same call window. This will work nicely!!! Having the CONTEST_ID import directly into the Notes For This QSO would still be nice, but Group Numbers Names will get it done for me.
