DxBase is doing exactly what it is suppose to do on the YU prefix...
Because of the separation of countries in that part of the world there is no
prefix relative to YU without a number designation added -- YU1, YU2 etc... So

Well - I have been waiting to see someone jump in and comment about the

Was wasting time and thought there must be an easy way to get into the
database page for QRZ for those of us using DxBase 2006..
Remember this is only a temporary get around until the next version of
DxBase comes along...
This is what I came up with...
toolbar --- programs - add
first line -
I am sorry... Let me clarify this.. I was looking for a quicker faster
way to get directly to the QRZ database page - this works for me... I did
not mean to imply that it was going to work as it did before and does again
on DxBase 2007..
