[Dxbase] DXBase 2005 import data

[Gary Senesac AL9A]

When I Right-click on the "Non DXB Import" utility icon in the DXbase 2006
group and look at the Properties tab it says import.exe is the correct
executable.  When it runs and brings up the list of .mdb databases look at
the title of the window.  It says "Select Target DXbase .mdb QSO Database".
The list of .mdb databases is presented for you to select which one is going
to be the Target, the one you want to import the data INTO.  After selecting
the Target, subsequent screens will ask you for the type of file, standard
ADIF, LOTW ADIF, etc., and the path to that file.

In short, it appears your import.exe file is running properly - just
continue to follow it to conclusion.  Make sure you have made a BACKUP of
your Target .mdb database BEFORE doing the import!
