A couple of weeks ago I found out similar problem with Logbook window, =
Report editor.
When you right-click on the report window and choose new (report) to =
create a new report and try to edit ??noname report??=20
to replace it with a meaningful name DX4win does not allow you to type a =
different name for the report if there exists another older report =
starting with the same first letter.
For example:
If I try to name a new report as LogBook2, DX4win chooses immediately =
existing LogBook -report when I hit the letter L.
The solution at the moment seems to be to use a different starting =
letter in each report.
