Bob, With regards to the FREQ versus MHZ .. once you decide that you want to use the variable FREQ -- you can use the following as the contents of that TEXTBOX:
Fstr$(Val(FREQ)/1000,"#####&.###") This will give you 21.200 vice 21200.00 Just be sure and change the FREQ to FREQ2 -- etc etc -- for each of the multiple textboxes you might create. With regards to your other question .. the Special_1 and Special-1 column and Special-2 column of your logbook are usable within the Label designer module as: SPEC1 and SPEC2 You can try to use them .. 73 Joe wa6axe Bob Brunius wrote: > Joe, > > When I log a QSO on a 3905 Century Club net I need to log the fact that it > is a net and whether it is a late net or an early net.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> FYI; I solved my own problem on the digits in the frequency print out for the QSO label. Using the following expression in the label designer converted my KHz DXbase records into MHz on the label. val(FREQ)/1000 Original Question: All along my auto-fill from the ICOM 765 has been filling the frequency field with KHz. That is a 160M freq shows something like 1893.13 and a 20M QSO is 14235.21. I have a lot of QSOs. So is there a way to automatically remove 3 orders of magnitude from the frequency field by doing a script? Perhaps directly in Access? Then the other question is how do I get my auto fill from the transceiver to fill in MHz and not KHz?
