I think you have the process confused. The Select Database and Field Layout is asking for a .CO file. .CO files are the files that determine in what order and which fields are shown in the main log or Previous QSO windows.
If you wish to create a special Field Order CO file, you must Have DXBase closed, go to the DXBase Programs Group and select: Field Order. This will open a Program that allows you to select the order of the fields in the log, and which fields to 'hide'. After you complete this process, you will Name it and save it to the DXBase directory. Something distinctive, I suggest. Now when you start DXBase, and get the opening window, you will select this NEW .CO file as the choice in the "QSO Log Field Layout". If this windows does not appear when first starting DXBase, you must start it with the default files and go to Tools, Options, User Options, General Tab, and put a check mark into the Database and Field Order option of Prompts at Startup. Close DXBase and restart and now choose your new Field Order .CO file. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "FireBrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 12, 2004 8:47 PM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] DXBase 2004 > Hi Bill > I did this once before but can't remember how. > I have the window Select QSO Log Field Order up.
