[Logic] QSO/Record number or serial number

Wed, 06 Aug 2003 08:47:02 -0400

Hi Art:

Thanks for your note.  

A QSO number is one thing, but it is not the same thing as a QSO 
count.  What happens if you delete a record?  Do you then go back and 
renumber everything?

The Count feature of  the Filter screen IS accurate, and always has 
been.  The record count at the bottom of the screen is what I was 
referring to as not being accurate.  It is a count including deleted QSOs.

The only solution is to either go ahead and count all records (as the 
Filter form does), or keep a counter somewhere that you increment 
when you add a QSO and decrement when you delete one.  Or take 
take the  total record count and subtract the deleted, which would still 
require reading the whole file, unless you added the overhead of 
another index....

What do you think?

73,

Dennis WN4AZY
