[Dx4win] No State On Import
This works great, especially if you leave the :2 after the word state. :) Interesting thing, on the import DX4WIN also puts the Name in the 1st Notes for QSO and the Freq and QSO # in the 2nd Notes for QSO fields. ... I just used WordPad and the 'replace' function.

It would sure be great to be able, at least, to know which ADIF tags earmark data for which fields in the DX4WIN database, so that I can edit them in the ADIF file if necessary. Is a systematic table of those destinations available? 73, Pete N4ZR

If you install the RAC CDROM data to your local hard drive, DX4WIN -will- accept its full path name. I used to do this all the time with RAC data, but then I switched to QRZ when I found it tended to be more timely and suddenly I had problems referring to it on my local drive.

Just as a follow-up, for those not wanting to actually place the QRZ 'CALLBK' directory in the root of their hard drive, a shortcut placed in the root that points to the actual 'CALLBK' directory works fine, too. 73, Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC NV SM E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As far as I can tell, there is a bug in DX4WIN 7.01 where the only way it will recognize the QRZ CDROM is if you give it a drive letter. If you copy the CDROM data to your local hard drive, DX4WIN will not recognize it if you just enter the full path name in the appropriate Preferences--ExtData field. The only way I have been able to get DX4WIN to access the QRZ CDROM data after it has been copied to a hard drive is when that hard drive exists on a remote computer and then I can assign a network drive letter to it. (I have tried to assign a drive letter to my local QRZ program directory using the old DOS SUBST command, but DX4WIN doesn't recognize it, either.) For example, I have my QRZ CDROM copied to the standard 'C:\Program Files\QRZ Ham Radio' directory on my 'shack110' remote computer. I then assign the network drive letter 'Z:' to '\\shack110\c\Program Files\QRZ Ham Radio\' and I am able to successfully have DX4WIN on my local computer access the disk drive-resident QRZ files on the remote computer by placing 'Z:' in the appropriate DX4WIN Preferences-ExtData field. Perhaps someone on the reflector can explain to both of us how to get DX4WIN to utilize QRZ CDROM data that has been copied to a local disk directory. 73, Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC NV SM E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then it will import correctly into the state field in DX4WIN. I think you can do even do that if it is the section instead of the state in the ADIF file and DX4WIN will convert the section to the correct state. For example, in the ARRL RTTY N1MM put the state in a field called EXCHANGE1: KS Just search for EXCHANGE1 and replace it with STATE. 73, Alan N5NA Richard Zalewski wrote: > I just noticed that State is not being imported properly.
