[Dxbase] DXB Import Problem

[Art Searle W2NRA]

I forgot to mention the worse part of this
problem.  It replaces the personal options back to
the virgin database data.  BTW I did set my
original log database as the target and the
imported database as the source as evident by the
number of QSOs imported.  I like Jack but I don't
want his personal data cluttering up my log
database :)

73,
