FW: [LOGic] LOGic 7 to 8 USER Field Values Transfer

[Carl J. Denbow]

Bill, thanks for the reply.  I guess I didn't make myself clear.  It's not the user field entries themselves that I'm having trouble with but the actual field values.  For instance, I have a user field called RIG and that has about seven field values (e.g., ICOM 756Pro, Kenwood 680s, AEA 10M Handy, etc.)  While the data for this is in the log I transferred, the user field has not been assigned the proper values (e.g., rig names).  I know how to do this manually, but it would be a pain.  I don't think the values are transferred with the old log form, are they?  I'm actually using a new log form, not the one I used with 7. I did transfer the old log form to 8, but it's not my default at the moment.  There is a way to get these values transferred from LOGic, but I can't remember how to do it.  Have I explained the problem more clearly now?

Thanks.

73,

Carl
