Hi Jack: As always, thanks for the quick reply to my email. One great "feature" of owning and using DXbase is the great customer support that you provide for your product. It is the best supported logging program I know of.
When I said it it was a known problem in DXbase, I was just repeating the words in an earlier email. You're right that it may, in fact, be a Microsoft problem rather than a problem in DXbase. I'm glad to hear that you're researching the source of the problem. But I know from my own woking experience, the customers don't care who's the source of the problem. They would just like to have it corrected. Thanks for your great support. 73, Tom, N0YD "Yankee Doodle" --- Jack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tom, > > Let me just say this...
