[Dxbase] New Dx-ped TX5C -- getting your CALL MAP database

[N3XX - Tim Heger]

I use almost the same procedure here.  But after tabbing to the prefix 
column and entering the new prefix, I then click on the callsign column 
again.  This will also cause the prompt to appear, asking if you want to map 
the callsign to the chosen prefix.  After answering yes, you can then just 
press the escape key to cancel saving the record.  That way you don't have 
to go back and delete the record, but the callsign has been mapped to the 
prefix you want.

Here's an alternate procedure that I use all the time to create such 
callsign mappings:

Just type in the callsign (TX5C) you want to map in the QSOLog window, then 
hit the TAB key as if logging an actual QSO.
Go to the Prefix column in the QSOLog window and click to select the new 
prefix you want (i.e., change from "F" to "FO/C").
Then save the record as a QSO.  DXBase automatically prompts you and asks if 
you want to map the chosen callsign to the chosen prefix.  Click "Yes," then 
delete the QSO record you just created (Record, delete record).

Works for me using DXBase2007.
