Ken, This solution is a mixed blessing because there are a number of records in the hamcall database that exceed the capacity allocated by DX4WIN. The routine to retrieve data has a parameter indicating the maximum length of the buffer, but this value is ignored by hamcall32.dll. (Try a lookup for SM0W) When this happens, all kinds of data gets overwritten etc crashing DX4WIN. The best solution is to get an updated hamcall32.dll, but I do not know if there is a newer version available.
For the next release I have increased the size of the buffer, but that is just a bandaid solution because next time a record is retrieved exceeding the new limit the problem will show up again. --Paul Ken Kopp wrote: > Greg, > > Your suggestion (below) did the trick.
