Hi Jim, There is an alias already setup for ZE = Z2 with a date of contacts prior to 12-31-1980. If you ZE contacts are after that date you could temporarily change it to something more current and your ZEs would be prefixed as Z2. Or you could just change all your ZEs to Z2s once you have all your ZEs entered in your log. Just sort the log by callsign (click on callsign header) and scroll down to your ZEs. If you don't have to many just type in Z2 and down arrow. If you have a lot highlight the first Z2 you enter, hit Control C, down arrow and Control V. Keep hitting Control V, down arrow and you'll be done is seconds even if you have a lot of them.
If you want to edit the alias map, go to Tools/Database Access/Country Prefixes and click on the Alias tab. Right click on the left most unmarked column header and choose last record (the Find command doesn't seem to work here). Up arrow a few records to ZE and change the date to, oh say, 12-31-2004 in the Old1 Date column. Enter your ZEs and change it back to 12-31-1980 when your done unless you have a time machine and plan on working more. 73, Art W2NRA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Cowan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2004 12:06 PM Subject: [DXBase] Zimbabwee I realize that it is indeed Zimbabwe and in reality it has not been deleted... Problem - ZE1 Rhodesia was never referenced to Z2 - Zimbabwe... I have a lot of ZE1 contacts that are showing up as England... Thanks for the help - now onto the DataBase to correct this problem, or at least attempt to.. Jim... VE3CM --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
