[Dx4win] Update databases

[k2dbk at k2dbk.com]

I agree with WA7AA -- The options only show up if there is something to update. If there's nothing, the window doesn't show anything. While I'd say that for any future updates it might be nice to have a "No updates found" message I think this current email thread is the only one mentioning the confusion since the new update system was implemented in 9.0. I can understand the confusion for a new user though.

That is entirely possible.  Maybe I didn't check very often, but I remember always seeing a full list.  When someone mentioned on here a few weeks back that they were having trouble with updates, I checked a few times, and that is when I noted the blank window.  Perhaps this is all much ado about nothing?

Mike, that's not the way I remember it. The only time the Check For Updates lists files to be updated is if there are new versions available. Then it gives you an option to uncheck them if needed. If there are no new files, a blank page will appear and that's normal.
