[Dx4win] DX4WIN Updates

[Brian Bird]

Dan and others,

I’ve sent this reply to three other people direct but thought maybe I should post here for everyone and let them know what I found as this seems to be more than just my issue.

WA7AA showed me how to view my data base date. On a new add QSO window, type in  version in the call window and then tab. The data should show up as Niger with a date in the manager position. That date reflects the data base date. I did this and it showed 16 OCT 2019, the date of the latest update.

So now my question is how did my program get the latest update? There is only the one way to update version 9 and that is under help/check for updates. Thinking this must have been a “senior” moment on my end but several of us are seeing this for whatever reason now. Something here has maybe changed? I cannot explain that and the next update that gets announced I will be looking at this very closely to see what happens. But for now it appears I am running the latest update and all is well.

Check your data base for the date. It will be very interesting in what you find as it sounds like a few of us are seeing this.
