Why is it not being saved in DX4805/ save ?
Mike, when you re-open DX4WIN, your log comes up, correct? I wonder if you are saving the log in the secondary backup directory instead of the primary backup directory. This obviously defeats the purpose of having a secondary backup directory! Start DX4WIN. Assuming it's loading your log, click, on File | Save. At the top of this window will be a line that says "Look in:". Click on the down-arrow in this field. It will show you the directory where DX4WIN is saving your log. Exit this window, then File | Save As and navigate to your DX4W805\SAVE directory. Type in N4EPD.dxl and then save the log. Now exit DX4WIN and re-start. Ensure you log is loaded. Perform the same steps above to see where DX4WIN saved your log file. Ensure that it was into your DX4W805\SAVE directory. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ 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
