[LOGic] Callbooks Page Missing Info

Sun Aug 30 11:18:45 EDT 2009

Larry:

I wonder if you are in the wrong folder.  The correct file to modify on my
computer is in the LOGDATA directory.  The path on my computer is
C:/logic8/logdata/.  Within the /logdata/ directory is a file called
callbooks.dbf, NOT CALLBOOK.DBF!! If you accidentally go to the
c:/logic9/data/ directory, you WILL find a "callbook.dbf" file. That is NOT
the correct file. 

Once you open callbooks.dbf, you must click on "browse" to bring up the URLs
for the different web sites.  At that point, simply change the QRZ URL to
the /db/ format previously mentioned.  Mine had the url listed as
www.qrz.com/details/(call). (it might have been "detail," now can't
remember).  Just remove "details" and replace with "db". Exit that screen
then restart Logic.  Your callbook lookup for QRZ should work fine then.

Bill,

I've followed both your procedure and Mels's with no change in the situation

here.  I'm not one to go digging into the computer or software too deeply on

my own, so I'm open to any other ideas either of you or anyone else may have

to get QRZ.com to display all of the info using LOGic8.  Thanks so far 
everyone and I'll keep playing with what you've already suggested, but it 
doesn't look to be a winner.
