[LOGic] QSL LABEL PRINTING

[Bill W5WVO]

Been there, done that. Easy way to fix this:

1) Create an Index for the Qslsdate parameter. For how to do this, go to
http://www.hosenose.com/radio/support/LOGic/faq/Advanced.htm

2) Once you have this parameter indexed and have rebuilt your indexes 
(Qslsdate should now be preceded by an asterisk in the column heading), just 
sort your log on that column by double-clicking the heading. All the most 
recent QSLs you printed will be at the end. (I created indexes for almost 
every column in my log. Makes it really easy to find stuff by sorting/browsing 
rather than by filtering.)

3) Change the QSL_SENT parameter from F to R for all 52 QSOs. You can either 
do this manually or, if you're knowledgeable, you can use the database tools 
to change the appropriate 52 records all at once. For 52, I'd probably change 
them manually because it would be faster (for me) to do it this way than to 
learn how to do it the other way. :-)  If you already know how to do this 
quickly and without risk of screwing it all up, go for it!

4) Print your envelopes.

5) Set QSL_SENT back to F. There's probably a clever way to do this, too, but 
I can't remember what it is. One way I just thought of, though, is to "print" 
your QSLs again, but this time do it to Screen instead of to Printer. I 
believe you should get the same dialog at the end of the process asking if you 
want to set QSL_SENT to F. If there's an easier/safer way, somebody else will 
post it.

6) REMEMBER: ENVELOPES FIRST!!!

Hope this helps.
