[Dxbase] Win7 printing labels?

Thu Aug 21 11:53:27 EDT 2014

Hi Dave and others  :)
Is printing labels one of the difficulties with v1.07 and Win7?
DXbase works my printer for other things, eg Log extract printing,  but is not able to print labels for QSL cards.  In the printing sequence, once I press "Print", there is a quick flash of a small window in the middle of the screen, but nothing is sent to the printer.
The printer is working fine with other software

windows 7 blocks several feasture with the security on the program files folders, so you should remove and reinstall off the root of c..   this has been documented

also if you want qrz to work correctly, you may also want to get the last version ( 1.10)

Hmmm,  Thanks Dave, but it didn't work.
I copied the old .CO files into the new Windows 7 program folder.  It appears to have had no effect.  When the logging screen appears the sub windows (eg Logging, DX info, Summary) are still in the new install state.  As well, none of my RADIO1 or 2 CAT info is configured.

A previous reply to this thread suggested copying the .INI files from the old installation.

Any thoughts....

copy *.co files into your new install folder, overwriting the installed versions.

Hello everyone

I installed DXBase2007 v1.05  back onto my PC after updating the OS to Windows7.

Is there any way to recover my previous layout configuration?  The layout has reverted to a 'fresh install' look.(I have all the files from the previous install under XP)
