[Dxbase] RAC interface

[Ron Stordahl]

Tony..you did figure it out however this can serve as a reminder to Jack
for the next release:

The help file is in need of a better explanation for this.  It's correct
in the case where RAC is on a CD-ROM, although showing this as the 'C'
drive is incorrect.  The 'C' drive is always your hard drive.  A proper
explanation would be roughly like this:


If the callbook is on a CD Rom, then the set up would be:

D  \  RAC!

If the data is on your hard drive the set up would be:

C  \RAC\  RAC!

Hopefully in the next release the help system will be updated
accordingly.

Ron, N5IN

Tnx for all the quick feedback. I had to change the CDROM Data Path to
"\RAC\". Now it works fine. I had assumed I didn't need to enter RAC
when I
selected in CDROM Type. I was wrong.

I had to reload all my programs on my PC. DXBase 2007 has been running
so
long without any problems that I forgot some of the setup. Everything is
fine except RAC lookup in the "QSL Info" window. In the CDROM window I
get
"Not found. RAC Error 3".

In the User Options window, Directories I have CDROM Drive "C", in CDROM
Data Path I have "\", in CDROM Type I have "RAC!". 
Both boxes are checked - Activate CDROM Interface and Auto Screen
Lookup.

My Path for RAC is "C:\RAC". I run RAC from the hard drive and it works
fine
when I hit the RAC icon.

I do have raccd32a.dll in the Dxbase directory.

What did I forget to do?
