[Dxbase] Bug i DxBase7 Ver. 1.06

I am using DXBASE7 ver. 1.06. and Windows Vista

When I started to upload to ClubLog, I discovered a bug or design flaw 
in my DxBase.
A lot of my QSO's had the wrong DXCC Prefix.

This is what happens.

Example:
I enter a call HA4FD in the call field and press CR to go to the next 
field. The WPX is updated with HA4
and the DXCC Prefix is set to HA. So far so good. Then I discover that 
the call was LA4FD not HA4FD
and returns to the Call field to correct the call. When I exit the call 
field with CR or TAB the WPX
and DXCC Prefix is NOT corrected. I have to do that manually. This may 
easily be forgotten.

It seems to me that the WPX and DXCC Prefix fields are only updated the 
first time the Call Field looses
focus. I believe that the calculations done only on the first Lost Focus 
event in the call field.  All these
other fields should be updated on every call field Lost Focus event.

Is this problem fixed in a later version of DxBase?

If not What are the plans for implementing such a fix?

Is it a way to repair the complete database and force it to recalculate 
all the DXCC Pfx and WPX fields?
