Stan: Thanks!
I will try that, but I already tried opening, for example, DX Monitor (as an administrator), and still got the UAC screen - so I wonder if your suggestion will make a difference. Will post result on this reflector. 73, Al, K6RIM -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:41:28 To: <[email protected]> Subject: Dxbase Digest, Vol 67, Issue 17 Send Dxbase mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Dxbase digest..."

The summary box is all confused. It shows totally different info than what the DXCC output data shows. For instance if I log a 5N station it shows that country worked and confirmed on every band, but if you run a HF numeric report it shows the correct 4 bands. It seems that every country data is wrong in the Summary box. What could have happened? Have run init tables, restarted DXB etc etc. Thanks 73 Merv KH7C ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:01:32 -0500 From: "Tim Heger" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Summary data confused To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <b8ed816f9b4542b69da9b80b0c445...@timlaptop> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Check the drop down selection box in the Summary Window and make sure it's set to "HF-Country", and not "HF-CQ Zone". 73, Tim - N3XX ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merv Schweigert" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 2:40 PM Subject: [Dxbase] Summary data confused >I updated from DXB 2003 to 2007 several days ago and all has > been working well until today. > The summary box is all confused.

Of course I must have looked at zones and forgot to change it back. Lets see, turned 65 so can I blame it on senile, bifocals, brain fart ??

The download link is at http://www.tweak-uac.com/home/ The error message you are seeing is because DXBase thinks you have your log file at the default location which is C:\Program Files\Scientific Solutions\DXB2007\.
