[Dx4win] F3 and "Update QSO" button

[John Unger]

Hi Alan -

Thanks for the help.

In my case, I get my QSL information from a Buckmaster CD.

When I type in a US call and press the F3 key, the update window comes up 
with the UPDATE QSO button highlighted, the address information is shown, 
and a note saying:
----QSL info from: Hamcal32.dll.
Then when I click on the UPDATE QSO button nothing happens to the blank 
fields in the QSO window, i.e., nothing is filled in from the information 
shown in the update window...

Still trying to figure out what is not happening and why.


tnx es 73 - John, W4AU
