[Dxbase] [dxbase] Re: Dxbase 2007 won't accept drop down county name

[Joe WA6AXE]

ARe you using a RAC or QRZ CDROM lookups for the QSOs ???  Sometimes the FORMAT of the CDROM entry 
is corrupt or just TOO LONG for DXbase --- and if the CDROM County is supposed to be auto-populated
(by your selection in OPTIONS) -- then -- if the CDROM has a BUM County  (City name, etc) -- then it will
CLASH with DXbase ...

Best test is to TURN-OFF your  CDROM look-ups completely (temporarily) and do another TEST QSO
(that you KNOW will BOMB-OUT) -- and see what happens

I have had the same problem,  there seems to be a bug of some sort that


at times will not allow the county to be selected or if it does it
locks up 

that entry and you cannot move or enter anything else.   

I have been able to repeat it many times,  I find that the only way out
is to 

usually shut down DXBase and go to qso,  reselect the state again and 

then the county and it is ok.  

The bug seems to be that DXbase does not recognize the state entry all
the

time,  but its too late to re-enter the state after you try selecting
the county

and then it locks up.   

Little difficult to describe,  but there is a problem ..

  Yes, the state has been entered.

Then I get the drop down menu with all of the counties in that state.

It is when I choose the county from the drop down menu and the county
is 

in the county box that I am unable to update the record.
