[Dxbase] ADIF import to DxBase2006 problems

[Joseph Glockner]

Ed,

After you sent me the 4 adi files, I did a Standard ADI import into
a Virgin database -- bringing all 4 of them in a one time. One after
the other - without closing the Non-DXB Import program. Totally
perfect with all 349 QSOs accounted for an NO ERRORS.. Initialize
Stats worked perfectly.

Then I tried an import of all 4 of them into my own mdb file ..
again - perfect action with no errors and again initializing stats
was flawless.

Since I can not reproduce the problem you saw Ed, I sure don't have any 
warm feeling abt why it acted up for you when you imported all 4 at one 
time..


73 fer nw,

> I had about four contest (CT adif) logs to import to my DxBase log.  I imported the logs using the utility, one after another, without starting up DxBase.  When I did run DxBase, I found a number of oddities in the log.  I would see several log entry lines that didn't have any QSO data and were grayed (actually red 50%) out.  I saw QSO's that were probably wrong because they were in the wrong date order, even after sorting.  When I tried to do Initialize Tables, I think I got some non-fatal error, something like "unrecognized bookmark".  Initialize Tables only found about 10% of the QSO's in the log.  I thought maybe I did something funny, so I reverted back to my saved log (Yes, I made a copy before doing all this).  I carefully did the same import process again, importing the logs in a different order.  Same results.   I then imported the logs one at a time on the original .MDB file, running DxBase between each import to verify that the import went okay.   By doing that,
 the log was fine after the four imports.  When I looked at the two files, the bad .MDB file was something like 10% larger in size than the correct log after the imports.  Is there anything in DxBase that requires you to run DxBase after an import??  I am pretty sure that I have done multiple imports in the past without any problems like this.  Anyone see similar results?
