[Dxbase] Entering Q's in DxBase 2007

[KQ8M]

Actually, Windows cut and paste does work. Highlight the text you want to
use over and over and hit CTRL-C. This will copy the text. Next, use CTRL-V
to paste. By the way, CTRL-X will do a cut instead of copy.

Subject: [Dxbase] Entering Q's in DxBase 2007

I don't use dxbase as a real-time logger, rather I enter my paper 
logs when I have the time.  Except contest logs which I import as 
.ADI files.  My question is about how to outsmart dxbase.  It 
continually tries to tell me what I should be entering, which I 
suppose is to prevent errors, but to me is extremely annoying.  I've 
turned off all the autofills and defaults I can find in the settings 
but it still insists on putting a QSO end-time from the current clock 
on QSO's I enter from months ago.  So I have to go back after every 
so many entries and delete them.  Windows copy and paste tools don't 
seem to work in dxbase so if I have a comment that applies to 5 or 10 
Q's I have to type in each comment individually.

Now today it's come up with a new objection.  I have been entering my 
logs from the last few months with no complaint from dxbase and all 
of a sudden it will not take any more Q's.  I get the message that 
"The field 'QSO-TAB.QSO-CQ-ZONE' can't contain a Null value because 
the Required property for the this field is set to True. Enter a 
value the this field."

I don't see any field with that name.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have used dxbase since the 2004 release and I still don't think it, 
nor any other program that has come along is any better than 
WJ2O's.  I understand people must move on, but Dave was on the right track.

Dave, W0RX
