[Dxbase] MRC Cards

[Richard Detweiler]

Here is more info.

MRC cards are "Mobile Reply Cards" used by county hunters.

In Summary, the steps involve using a MS Access Macro.

Anyone wishing to use this will need a copy of MS Office Professional.  Any 
Version after 97.

It will involve some steps in MS Access,  So If you are not wanting to get 
into MS Access, you might want to avoid this.

The process essentially sets up a shadow database that points to the Tables 
in your DXB database,  Some macros are set up and run that load the labels 
file with the State and County after the Labels are generated from the 
normal QSLing process.

The State and county must be present in the Log entry

The Name and Spec 2 fields in the label record are used to carry the State 
and county info.

A MRC . crd /.crv file is used to print the cards.  I have it set up for a 
HP deskjet printer, so you might  also need to fiddle with positions of the 
fields to make it match your printer.
