[Dxbase] Summary Window updates not complete

[Greg Tomerlin - K4KO]

Rich,

Thanks for the idea, but that did not occur here.  
I followed the instructions and used the Import 
utility when upgrading to a new version.

I had some strange problems like this after I decided to try to do an
end run around the "normal" process of migrating your database from one
version to the next. 

I tried doing the migration using an ADIF export and then import - and
then initialize the stats tables. This simply didn't work very well -
sure, the log data came over, but the initialize table procedure didn't
seem to connect all the links that it does when you do the "normal /
documented" migration. 

Just a "wacky theory" - I'm an Oracle DBA, so I tried to get fancy and
shot myself in the foot. It humbled me back to reading the manual and
following the instructions verbatim. 

I doubt you did something as "creative" as I did - but I figure I would
throw this out - just FYI.

73,

Rich
