[DXBase] Delete record nuisance

[Jack]

Without being there to watch what you do, I can't really say.  However, I
just did a test here and do not see any problem.  I entered a QSO in the log
but did not save it, then I brought up Outlook Express, created an email,
sent it, then minimized Outlook Express and DXbase remained with the QSO in
the log in a pending ( not saved ) condition.  Now, if you have a QSO
entered but not saved, and you click some other record in the QSO log, it
will save the pending QSO.  This is by design.

Regards,
Jack
