George, Gary has found a feature that I overlooked in SyncBack. When you create a schedule for a profile, there is an <Advanced Schedule Options> screen on which you can declare the start date and repeat interval for backups. So, you could define a backup to run every day at 00:00, and then tell it to repeat every 5 minutes (or whatever number of minutes you want) for 24 hours. Essentially, this creates a backup that runs every 5 minutes forever!

Quite frequently, when I'm bringing a spot from the Telnet window into the QSL logging entry window by clicking on it, I will get the following message: "Error. Value in range to expected". I get rid of it by clicking OK and moving on, but can anyone tell me what that's all about? Gary, VE1RGB From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 27 14:54:42 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jerry.Van) Date: Tue Dec 27 14:55:52 2005 Subject: [Dx4win] Setting Callsign font to Bold when printing labels Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In DX4WIN 7.01 (also 6.04) I am unable to permanently set the Callsign font to Bold when printing labels. I am using the Custom1 label name accessed via File>Databases>Labels. After selecting the Callsign font area I can set the font from Regular to Bold and then exit via the OK's. If I then re-open the Label database the Bold setting has been reverted back to Regular and was not permanently saved. During a label printing session I can modify the Callsign font to Bold and all works well. However, the Bold setting is not saved across printing sessions either. Is there a method to permanently store the Callsign font Bold setting in the label database? I have tried editing the database (I assume it to be dx4win.lab in the Save folder) with MS Word, WordPad, and Notepad but it does not seem to be editable by these methods. Any ideas? Jerry N8BM
