[Dx4win] Group Names

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 15:01:25 -0400

Happened to me too.  Here is Paul's reply:

John,

Group names are part of the log. A way to loose the group names
is to export a log, and import into a new one.

When you have a log with group names in it, proceed as follows:
1. Keep backup information!!
2. Open the log with the groups in it.
3. Delete all QSOs in that log
4. Use the File | Import | Merge DX4WIN log to add your most recent
log.
5. Save the log under a new name

Paul

It worked! They all came back.
