[Dxbase] Joe WA6AXE -- Parting words that will help in 99.9% of all problems

[Joe WA6AXE]

ALL Dxbase2007 users still hanging in there on this REFLECTOR:

99.9% of all of your problems can be cured by simply

Using the program in Dxbase called

Ugdxbase.exe

 (this stands for   Upgrade Dxbase)   -- Do a DXB Import using this ugdxbase.exe
Program ..  NOT the IMPORT.EXE program — that is for ADI file imports...

Use a Virgin Database (Dxb2007.mdb)  that you will find in the VirginDB directory
Right off of the main directory of Dxbase2007..  Copy that Dxb2007.mdb file into your
Main Dxbase2007 directory .. Then using the   Ugdxbase.exe program file -- IMPORT
The Dxbase2007 file that is probably corrupted - but no matter

What the problem is:::

BUT BUT BUT ...  NO matter what the problem is  - DON'T read anything into it - because
The 99.9% chance that you can cure it by simply doing the DXB Import (ugdxbase.exe) of
The possibly/probably CORRUPT file you have - import into the Virgin Database file (Dxb2007.mdb).

Guys - what gets smacked in your mdb file is JUST THE STATS AREA!!   IT NEVER HURTS your QSOs etc - JUST THE STATS!!
And,. Yes - you will see some funky words/things — but blow them off .. You can do this by just a simply UgDXbase,exe Import...

Guys - these are the parting words I have for you .. And, yes - Hank got his Dxbase working all ok ...


With this SIMPLE step - you will never have to ring my chimes ever again.   You can do it all by yourself
And say YES!!!


FYI!!  — on May 20, 2025 - while living in Sherman, TX - I had a STROKE and my doctor tried to call me - but
Couldn't get ahold of me — so, she called my SON who lives in Fort Branch, IN — and my son and his wife drove
14 hours from Indiana to Texas - and FOUND me needing big time help...  Went to the Hospital there in Sherman, TX for
6 days — then my SON got my REHAB facility right there in his home STATE — in Princeton, IN ... I was in-house patient
At the REHAB for 2 months — and came out of REHAB 100% good ... Initially I had LOST ALL CONTROL of my right ARM/HAND/WRIST.
AND I AM RIGHT-HANDED...  I am now LIVING with my SON and his wife/daughter in Fort Branch, IN.

Vry Best of 73 Guys!!
