Sandy, Listed below is a copy of the information taken from the DXbase 2005 help file in the section called Logging, subsection called QSO Log Field Description. The field is used by DXbase for certain database synchronization when it is necessary to uniquely identify a record across multiple tables. It has no functionality for the user except that it does provide a unique identifier that can never be changed, modified, or otherwise tampered with even if a record is deleted.
If it bothers you to see it, then just hide that field. REF# - This is a read only field. It cannot be changed and is automatically assigned by DXbase for each record added. It is used by DXbase to uniquely identify each QSO record.
