[LOGic] Logform Issue

[N6FM Ben]

OK, I think you mean that you wish to use a separate log database for the
home station than the remote station? If you wish to use a separate database
for remote contacts vs local contacts, then I think what you would have to
do is define a new shortcut for the program and add the parameters in the
command-line specifying the location of the desired log database (DATA
perameter). Then you would restart the program each time using the different
shortcuts.

I don't know any other way to switch databases. Someone else might.

I understood your question:

...to mean that you wanted to just that, close the log form without closing
the other windows and open a different log form. IN any event, the other
forms (I assume forms such as "Other QSOs", "INFO", etc) would apply to
whatever database you were using (LOG.DBF), not a specific log form. 

The logform merely is a means to add QSOs to the database, it is not the
database unto itself. "LOG.DBF" is the actual log. 

Also, look in the docs under "multiple instances of Logic" and "networking
and multiple databases"....where it discusses the "DATA" parameter. 

Hope that helps..

Ben

Hi, Ben.
   Thanks for the quick response. Clicking on that X only closes the data 
entry and browse windows. It doesn't close all the other open windows. What 
I'd really like to do is clear the entire workspace, i.e., also have the 
Spot Log and other open windows close, too. There may be no good way to do 
this, unfortunately, since the "logform" definition appears to include just 
the data entry and browse windows. Ideally, the "logform" would include 
everything on the screen at the time it's closed, but I guess it doesn't. I 
might have to set up another log database and just move any remotely made 
contacts to the main log when I get home. Seems awfully cumbersome.
