[Logic] Question on the Power Field

Sat, 4 May 2002 12:00:59 -0400

Hello Roland,

this is quite easy to address in either ver 5 or ver 6 of LOGic -

Looking at your Log Form (perhaps "Log --Default") you will see a bottom row
of icons.  The right-most is a man in a black suit with an outstretched arm.
Letting your mouse cursor hover over it, you'll read: "Select user-defined
fields" ... Click on it.  When the "User-defined field setup" window opens,
notice the left-most column.  Selecting (black dot in circle) anything in
the Carry Value Forward to New Records?" column does just that.

Once you make an entry in a selected field, it will carry forward from Q to
Q to Q.

CAUTION! - it's real easy to forget the antenna field when changing bands!!!

Regards,  Bill  K1UQ
