E6 is the new Prefix for Niue, so E6 callsigns should no longer be mapped to
ZK2. Instead, changes to show E6 as the Primary Prefix for Niue should be
made in your Country Prefix database on the Primary and Alias Map tabs.
That way, future E6 callsigns will be recognized as Niue, and no callsign
mapping will be necessary.
After making this change, you will need to go to each of your previous
contacts with Niue, and change the Prefix field to E6.

Subject: [Dxbase] Heads-up on E6STâ?â?â?â?â? (Niue)
... at least I had not mapped that call ...
Just saw that the callsign E6ST is active. Gave me an unknown country in
DXBase ....
This callsign was not currently MAPPED in the CALLMAP table -- so, if
you want, simply make a dummy QSO with this callsign and change the
PREFIX column of your logbook mdb file to ZK2 (Niue) and then when the
pop-up asks you if you want to save this E6ST mapped to ZK2 -- say
YES/OK ---- Then delete that dummy QSO .. The CALLMAP table will now be
updated in advance so that if you work this station -- it will have the
correct PREFIX in your logbook QSO window ...
