David,

After thinking about it - I believe that you have a callsign in the OPRCALL
column for those NA-174 QSOs -- that IS NOT in your reg file for DXbase ..

THIS WILL prevent anything from printing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> Joe if you're not busy.  Is there anything about this label file that prevents it from printing?  It was created by Dxbase2007 v1.07 on WinXP.  I now have the same v1.07 installation on Win7.  I can get all the way to the end of the <print QSO Label> path, when I click print, having selected this label, nothing happens.
