[Dxbase] Win7 printing user defined label?

Sat Aug 23 15:44:11 EDT 2014

 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Neal
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.
Any ideas?

Thats a relief (but sorry about the problem anyway!)
Let me know if you find something (Joe WA6AXE is a wizard with these things though!)

Yes, absolutley. The field of labels displays file. I now have another piece of the puzzle.

The printer works with the stock dxb labels. Prints fine. It is the <user defined> label I made for NA-174 contacts that will not print.

So now, the problem seems to be that label. Originally made under my previous installation.

Hi David
Is it possible you do not have any records selected for label generation? Do you get the display of the labels on the computer screen before printing?

As a software developer you must hear people cranking about "it doesn't work", a lot. I see that in your reply to me. Clearly that is not what I am saying. 

Of course the problem is on my computer/DXb setup. That is the reason I came to the group for help. 

I do wonder if there is an incompatibility on my system between DXB2007 v1.07 and Windows 7? (or do you not recommend v1.07 and Win7)

● The printer works from other areas of DXb. Lists, log...● The printer seems to skip printing in the QSL label feature

After clicking <print> for a batch of labels, there is a quick flash of a small window in the center of the screen x 0.5sec, but nothing goes to the printer. 

My best hope was that someone recognising what I described might know what was wrong.

I will preface this statement with the caveat that almost everything people say doesn't work always seems to work on the developers computer, but I just printed a sheet of labels on my Win7 ham computer so its probably something in your local setup.

Make sure you are running DXB as admin user just to be sure!

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

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)
