[Dx4win] version 8.01 issues

[Egbert Hertsen]

Hi everyone !

Despite of the interesting new features version 8.01 is offering its
users, I want back to version 7 due to the following items:

- after entering some QSO's in real time, the data show up in the
logbook window. However when searching the QSO using F8 (search) I get
a "No matching QSO found" window. This doens't apply to just one
single QSO but to a whole bunch of them.
To give an example, these are the data of one of these QSOs: LY20W,
7th August 2009, 09.36, 18 MHz, CW, 599

- having achieved over 1,500 awards, I configured my own dx4win.awd
file since version 5. Whenever a new version of DX4WIN came out, I
copied and pasted my awd file into the new save directory. Untill
version 7 this worked flawlessly. Some reports are presented properly
in version 8 while others result i a window carrying the message "an
execption occured! Access violation at address 0040351A in module
dx4win.exe Read of address 00003D3B".
To give an example, this happens whenever I want to generate a report
for my Russian Districts Award.
The data in my awd file start with:
[RDA]
;THE TAMBOV AWARD GROUP
awdname=UA: RDA
prefix=UA,UA9,UA2
AB-01=AB-01 Aginsky Area
AB-02=AB-02 Dul`durginsky Area
AB-03=AB-03 Mogojtujsky Area
AD-01=AD-01 Maikop
AD-02=AD-02 Adygejsk
AD-03=AD-03 Giaginsky Area
...

Any help would be most welcome...
