Joe I think your getting a little excited here . 
I loved the previous updaters you released but this one didnt seem to set well with my computer. 
I see some others have had a problem or 2 also but stuff happens. 
I got mine all straightened out now and all is well for now. 
With that said having not said much for a couple years and backing DxBase and still Backing DxBase we really need Neal working on this also. 
Free updated files at least if not updating the program. I would pay for an update but I really dont think the program it self needs a lot. 
Your doing all the work and Neal is non existent most of the time. All I ever hear is I am so busy ? Hell were all busy , Thats life. 
Neal you really need to show us something. People are asking you for updates and new features. 
Me I am happy with it as it is although I would like to be able to narrow the dx spotting window to certain bands and modes but thats about it. 
Joe please keep up the great work and dont worry its all good :)

ALL: 

I have listed on my Auto Prefix Updater webpage - some conditions under 
which you probably CAN NOT use the updater -- they are: 

STOP here is any of the following 7 items are true: 


(1) You want total control of any modifications/updates to your files. 
(2) You do not know how to UNZIP a file - so that you can actually extract the 

enclosed files within the ZIP file. 
(3) You do not want to use another user's Refdata.mdb file. 
(4) You are running Windows VISTA or Windows 7; and, you installed DXbase2007 

into the Program Files directory on that computer. 
(5) You ONLY make manual updates to your mdb files. 
(6) You DO NOT want to use the Entity PREFIXES standardized by the DXbase owner. 
(7) You are in-doubt about using the program (in any manner/way). 



NOTE! :: If any of the above are TRUE in your situation - I DO NOT recommend that you 

proceed with running my program!! PERIOD. This is because the situations listed above 

are outside of the control of the logic programmed into my Updater program.
