[Dxbase] Duck QSL Card -- more info Eric

[Jack]

Eric,

The default values in the designer module are embedded in the code and 
cannot be changed by user.  To see your own data, you must use the print 
module.

Regards,
Jack

Hi Joe,
I never said that I was trying to print DATA from the card design module. It
just simply seems to me that if one wants to design or modify an existing
card then one should be able to see the final output - in print - with ones
own call and address.

What if I just wanted to print a blank QLS card? Yes I know I can modify the
fields to use text, but would it not make more sense to use same variables
used in DxBase logging software?

Where are the 'defaults' hidden in the design module. Can I not put my
personal info in the design module somehow?

Thanks for the reply Joe,
73 Eric.

Eric,

YOU are going into the DESIGNER Module itself ---
"if" you are strictly wanting to PRINT your qsl cards
(using the Duck QSL card) -- then DO NOT do that from
within the Labels Deisgner Module !!!


YOU will always PRINT your QSO data by going to the
Main Menu / Output / User Designed Labels .....

This is the ONLY way that DXbase can actually pick-up
the QSO data from the labels pending database!!


IF YOU are wanting to "modify" the structure of the
current DUCK QSL file -- then YES - you change that
from within the Label Designer Module -- BUT, be aware
that what you see as the DEFAULTS for the various
"Variables" in the Label Designer Module -- are nothing
more than "Defaults" that Jack put in to let you know
what kind of data each variable is ... BUT, AGAIN ---

YOU NEVER EVER print your qsl card data from within the label designer
module -- NOT EVER!!!!!!!!


73 Joe
