[Dx4win] DX4WIN closing unexpectedly (Jay Hainline)

[Mike Kirchoff]

Jay,

 

I have the same problem and I have communicated with the DX4WIN Guru's.  I
was told this results when there is "too much information" to be imported
into the "Call Sign/Mgr" lookup box.  Since I also include data from the
GOLIST when I "hit" F3, apparently I make the problem worse although it only
happens to me about once every hundred QSO's.  It definitely occurs only
with certain call signs, but it occurs every time I enter those call signs.

 

I was told there is no easy fix for this.  I suggested that a change be made
such that the program "refuses" to accept too much data, but the action does
not crash the program.  I never heard anything back on my suggestion.  As a
self defense mechanism, I never hit F3 without first doing an "ALT S",  At
least this keeps me from losing any data.  I am hopeful that we will see a
"fix" in the annual "Dayton" release of an update for the program.

 

73,
