[Dxbase] User Designed List 'printer' failure

[Ron Stordahl AE5E]

I looks like I didn't wait long enough.  It took quite a while with only 
50 Q's, so perhaps with the 931 that I had in my lst it would take a 
long long time.  With a shorter list after it completed the list was 
kind of a mess.  I wonder if there is a report which I could have 
selected which would be very plain.  Really all I am looking for is the 
most simple xls format, or even csv.  Something that I don't have to 
spend quite a bit of time cleaning up.  


The report I picked was DXBase screen format logbook.  Maybe there is something simplier, or maybe there should be!

>> Actually what I want to do is to put the wizard data in Excel format, if there is some other way from the program to do this fine.  I could use MS Access directly I suppose and export to Excel, but the Wizard does such an excellent job of making selections that I would greatly prefer to use it.

>> If there is someway to output the Wizard data 'unformatted' to a file that would work I suppose.
