Jack, Today, when I attempted to mark a few QSLs received using the Previous QSO interface (accessed by pressing Alt-V, then P) my DXbase 2004 crashed. The program locked up when I pressed <Alt-F> keys after entering a call sign in the search field of the Previous QSO dialog box. The entire program froze, and the only way to exit the program was by pressing the <Cntl-Alt-Del> keys, choosing "DxBase 2004 (program not responding)" from the list of programs then clicking END TASK. Before attempting to run DXbase again, I shut down my computer, rebooted the operating system, then opened DxBase 2004 and ran the Initialize Tables function as I was instructed. After Initializing the Tables, I went back to the Previous QSO interface (Alt-V, P from the main program window) and noticed that all of the column headings are missing and "__:__" (without the quotes) appears in their place. When I search for a particular call sign (by entering a call and pressing the Alt-F keys or clicking the Find button) a list of the QSOs is returned, but the fields (date, RSTs, etc.) for each record appearing in the window (except for the call sign field) contain only "__:__" (again without the quotes). When I attempt to scroll to the right to view subsequent fields, the program locks up.
The program, including the Previous QSO function, worked properly earlier in the day. So what have I done to my program? Greg Tomerlin -WN4M
