[Dxbase] DXCC QSL Submission - DXBase 2005

[Merle Bone]

I had a problem with DXBase 2005 making a QSO sheet for a DXCC submission. The submission was 395 QSOs. There were about 80 cards with multiple QSOs. I followed the instructions in the DXBase 2005 (Help) and put unique numerical codes into the QSL# field (Found under "multiple QSOs on the same card" in Help). When I ran the QSO sheet generation program the multiple QSO cards were correctly sequenced at the back of the submission. HOWEVER, all of the QSOs in the multiple QSO card area had also been replaced in the front sheets with NEW QSO's!

"Firebrick" suggested that I use the "Special 1" and "Special 2" fields and put codes in those fields - one for the single QSO cards and one for the Multiple QSO cards. Then he suggested I make two runs of the QSO sheet generation program and combine the results. I think that would have worked. However it was going to require that I find and make a field entry in 395 records -By Hand! That's a lot of "chicken work."

What I did was clear the QSO# fields I had created - easier to do - just run down the QSO log till you see something in that field and clear it.
Then I ran the DXCC QSO Sheet program(So the multi QSO cards were mixed in the total list). I then exported that file to EXCEL and moved the "multi-qso card" QSOs (Cut & Copy) to the bottom of the list - much easier then putting numbers in 395 Special fields. 

I don't know if this has been fixed in DXBase 2006 or not?
