[Dxbase] DXbase2006 updated Refdata mdb file

[Joseph Glockner]

Oystein,

So very true - absolutely... If you have never entered anything
into those other tables - that info will be gone .. That is why
I asked the users who wanted the "STATES group coordinates" to
be placed into their Refdata.mdb file - to send me THEIR
Refdata.mdb file -- and I manually updated "just" those
coordinates for approx 1,000 Alias Map entries..  That way,
"their Refdata.mdb" stayed intact...

But, for those users who were still running the "original"
DXbase2006 Refdata.mdb file - and had never entered anything
themselves - I posted my Refdata for them to use...

FOR SURE - be careful when over-writing the file with mine..
PSE make sure of your choice.

Tnx Oystein for the observations!!
