Phil As I have never had the problem I may not be exactly correct But using the Wizard the first thing would be to check the Over Ride Option Group Setting and put in a distinctive Character, any number, Symbol or Upper Case letter. Uncheck the Ignore Qsl via and use Mgr. option. Then under the Options, select K in the Country drop down list. I found that this produced an alphabetical listing of labels. Not exactly perfectly as you want but should cut down the sorting.
I tried using the Call= option and entering K1 but that didn't work. I guess that option needs an K1*.* (all) option. Hope this helps a bit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil ON4VP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 7:40 AM Subject: Re: [DXBase] order of printouts not suitable for our qsl managers ... > Could you advise me on how to proceed > How do I make US calls autmaticly belong to a 'U' group ? > How can I let them sort out in order to the number in the callsign ? > > Thanks a lot for helping me out if possible > Phil ON4VP > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "FireBrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Phil ON4VP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "DXBase List" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 2:12 PM > Subject: Re: [DXBase] order of printouts not suitable for our qsl managers > ... > > > > Phil > > Your outgoing bureau is much more stringent than the ARRL outgoing bureau. > > Until a possible workaround can be developed, might I suggest you use the > > 'GROUP' feature, > > you can mark all USA as Group U in the Pending QSL window. > > Then you can just print USA only. > > You can further set the W4 situation as a different Group Character. > > > > One of the automatic ways of doing this is via the Wizard.
