[Dx4win] Problem with Filter selection
Hi guys I have needed to install DX4WIN on a different computer to the one I mostly use. The installation was successful but I find Files, Selection Files, Edit Group Names to be both greyed out. No doubt there is some kind of switch to enable these functions but despite a search I have failed to find it. The facility worked fine on my other computer. Reading the electronic manual hasn't so far led to a solution. As I have used multiple calls in one compound log, I need to filter on group names to make sense of cluster input. I would really appreciate some help in getting to the bottom of this. Many thanks.

Re: [Dx4win] Problem with Filter selection
Hi Bob, I think it has to do with your User Level. Go to File - Preferences and look at the User Level. It is likely Regular. Try Advanced or Expert. I think once you save the change, you need to exit DX4WIN and get back in for the change to take effect. 73, Lee N7NU Bob Henderson b...@5b4agn.net 12/3/2010 9:55 AM Hi guys I have needed to install DX4WIN on a different computer to the one I mostly use.

[Dx4win] Problem with Filter selection
Jim It is a WinXP installation just like the one on which it ran fine. I have been unable to find any difference, apart from the greyed out menu items. Very frustrating. 73 Bob, 5B4AGN On 3 December 2010 18:41, Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu wrote: It sounds like you installed DX4WIN under C:\Program Files on a Vista or Win7 operating system.
