I just got off the phone with Joe, WA6AXE.  Here is my unsolicited review
of his value to DXBase users.

What an outstanding resource!  In the space of 5 minutes, he took a
computer illiterate and showed me how to work through my problems to
arrive at a solution.  My DXBase 2007 is now literally better than ever.

THANKS JOE!


TWO things I learned from him.  You've heard them before, but they bear
repeating.  

#1  Use the DXB Utility Database tab and COMPACT your mdb file.  Mine
went from 200MB of garbage to 5 MB of sanity.

#2  Use the DXB Utility Backup tab and back up your mdb and refdata
files!  It takes few moments to a thumb drive but it will save hours of
reconstruction or lost Qs.  I fortunately had backed up 3 days before my
desktop crashed.  

I know Joe has helped many of us over the years.  I'll be taking him to
dinner in a couple of months - FOR ALL OF US!

73.
