[Dxbase] "No Current Record" after Win10 auto-update

[Walter Miller, AJ6T]

Joe (and Neil),

After a bunch more playing around with DXBase after the import to the 
virgin database as Joe suggested, I have determined that the HF and 
VHF/UHF Statistics work OK for all categories except the HF countries 
category.  In other words, the zones/states/WPX/IOTA/etc all work, but 
the HF Numeric Stats (for countries ONLY) crashes DXBase.  And, as 
mentioned below, the program does seem to know what band-countries I 
need as evidenced by correctly alerting from Internet spots.....but 
DXBase just cannot generate the table of that same information in the HF 
Numeric Stats window.  This is very strange.

Just to cover all bases, the REG file does include my AJ6T callsign as 
indicated by the DXBase HELP-ABOUT option.

Neil.....what do you suggest?

73,
Walt, AJ6T
