I have GROUPS 0, 1, 2, and 3defined. If I search for any of the 4 groups by group number I get only those QSOs for that group. When I total the number of QSOs I selected in FILTER (group) of the 4 groups I get the total number of QSOs in my log. That tells me the filter function by groups is working properly. Not sure what you mean by illogical fashion. I defined my needs for groups and the log does sort (filter) by those "needs", in otherwords, "my groups". I have my entire log for N7KA going back to June 1978 is entered into DX4WIN. Group 0 identiined as all QSOs prior to 01 JAN1983 (the date that VUCC started). I lived in Tucson, AZ in 01 JAN 1983 so have defined Group 1 by the 6 digit grid square I was living and operating from. Group 2 is defined by my current 6 digit grid square beginning 24 FEB, 1985. Group 3 is defined as the grid square I operated portable on 6M Sunday 20 June 2010. They all sort properly when I select FILTER and enter the group number. At start-up my correct group 2 is displayed in the QSO WINDOW GROUP box. (that is what I have set as default) If I change and SAVE the group number in the FILE|PREFERENCES|QSO group box, this becomes the group number displayed in the QSO WINDOW upon starting the program. You MUST do QSO|Real-time after the program is booted to set the program to begin logging for the day, otherwise you get data from the last QSO entered in your log. BTW all 4 of my groups do come up at start if I have defined a group as the default. l also keep my group number and description written on paper and stored in my manual as backup; group number description, date range, and any other info I determine is relevant. 73 de Arne N7KA ----- "John Shaw" <jns...@internet.co.nz> wrote: > Using version 8.04. > When I set the group to "0" in the preferences and then go to real time > entry the group is "0" so I cant reproduce your result for that one. > If I set the group in preferences to a group not previously set up and go to > real time entry it does come up as the group set and will log it as such. > As a consequence after that if I go to "Filter|Edit Group Names" the new > group generated this way does not show up in the list and am not being able > to use Filter|Select to find that QSO, it can be searched for by using F8. > Since F8 search can be used it can be set to another group using > QSO|Multiple QSO Operations. > So other than being able to do something in an illogical fashion it would > seem to be function ok.

"0" is a group of everything, including itself, a group of all groups > if you like. > 73 John ZL1BYZ. ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
