Hi all,
I'm new to the list so sorry if this has been asked before.
I am in the process of writing a program that looks up a state,city
combination and determines the county name. Then I want to update the DX4WIN
.DXL file (directly or indirectly) with the county. I want to make sure I do
ed by programs other than
DX4WIN; but DX4WIN produced .DXL files are good too :-)
I PROMISE that all logs/files received will NOT leave my PC (won't be
accessible by anyone but me) and will be deleted once the program is released!
Thanks and 73,

Hi Bob,
As a guess, I'd say your DX4WIN.IEP (Import/ExPort) file got corrupted. I
don't know if the format of it is compatible with 7.02 or not.
If you have no other suggestions:
1) Exit DX4WIN
2) Make a copy of your DX4WIN.IEP file (located in the SAVE directory) to
another name.

However, in the "Editing group names" screen, it doesn't seem to check the

you can CREATE group names that you will NOT be able to associate with a QSO(s)!
