[Dxbase] DXCC award submission problem

[Joe Glockner]

The meaning of those numbers you see at the TOP area of any of the Crystal 
Reports
generated style of Reports (DXCC QSO Form included) - means nothing to the 
DXbase
User !!

The only thing that it is saying is that the Crystal Reports program dealt 
with 120
records -- because of the way that the ARRL wants to see the FORM layed out 
..

Jack has spoken about this recently on the reflector .. Yes - you might have 
only
had 90 of your own entries -- BUT, because of the manner in which the ARRL 
wants
to see the FORM - Jack programs it - so that the ROWS are "numbered"  --  
even
if there is nothing in the Row ...

Suffice to say that when it comes to the Reports -- if you totally ignore 
that
top area (and it's stats) - you surely are not missing a thing !!

I, who program some of those style of reports, sure wish that we could just
simply VOID anything from showing up in that area - but they are placed
there by the Reports program - so we don't have any control on their being
visible or not..

Hope that this might give a bit of insight as to the numbers at the tops of 
the
Reports..

He said that.

Yes you would.  Too bad it doesn't work that way.

And speaking of strange things, when I ran this and look at the
DXCCQSO.RPT, I had 97 actual entries, yet at the top of the form it says,
Total:120, 100%, 120 of 120 and I have four pages even though the last one
is completely empty.  The WAS report does the same thing; always shows 50
regardless of how many actual entries there are.
