The DXBase2007 Selection Wizard functions on Windows10.....after all it is just generating a text file (ADIF file) that you will upload to the ARRL website. 73, Walt, AJ6T On 3/1/2019 1:04 AM, Mark Hammond wrote: > Hello All: > > > > The last time that I sent a DXBase 2007 ADIF File Upload to LOTW was when I > was running Windows 7.

This callsign will default to France(F) because of the Alias Map table mapping. This callsign is not currently MAPPED in the CALLMAP table -- so, if you want, simply make a dummy QSO with this callsign and change the PREFIX column of your logbook mdb file to FR and then when the pop-up asks you if you want to save this TO19A mapped to FR -- say YES/OK ---- Then delete that dummy QSO ..

I was able to download DX Spots into the "Internet Message Window" using the "Show DX" command as usual. However, when I selected one of these DX Spots in the "Internet Message Window", I received a message which read: "Unable to identify the country prefix for call sign <09-Mar-2019>. If the callsign is valid you should add an entry to the call map or alias mapping database" and the DX Spot would not load into the "Summary Window" . I receive the same message for any of the DX Spots brought into the "Internet Message Window" with the "Show DX" command. For some reason, it appears that the software associated with the "Internet Message Window" seems to be looking at the "Date Field" in the database rather than the "Callsign Field". If I select a DX Spot received directly from the internet, that is in the "Internet Message Window", the spotting stations call sign and its associated information will load into the "Summary Window". But it is only the spotting stations call sign and its associated information and not the DX Spots call sign and associated information. Also, when I select a DX Spot in the "DX Info Window", the DX Spot's call sign and associated information loads correctly into the "Summary Window". Which may mean that the K7HPH Database has not been corrupted and that something else is causing the problem. I tried loading a clean backup of the K7HPH MDB file, but the issue was still there. I then did a complete Uninstall and Reinstall of DXBase to see if that would solve the problem. But it did not. There must be some parameter of the old DXBase that is not removed with the Uninstall that is causing the problem to continue. I'm not sure what might have happened to cause this issue! Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem? If so, how were you able to fix it?
