[South Florida DX Association] DXBase - to DXLAB comments

[William Shirley]

Hi Guys, I'm stuck...

I'm currently using DXBase 2000. I never really saw any need to upgrade.. 
until now!

I just received my certificates for LOTW and was going to upload the log. 
The problem is that DXBase 2000 does not support exporting to ADIF files! 
(or, at least, I can't find it anywhere!)  I guess Jack thought that once 
your in DXBase, your there.  Why write an application to make it easy to 
leave!  Then along came LOTW!

EA3TB (I think that was the call) had a program that would create an ADIF 
file, but those links are now broken.

The reason I liked DXBase so much is that, in addition to all that it did, 
it used Access 97 as the database engine, which means that you can do SQL 
queries and extract data from the log and present it any way you want.  I 
guess I could create my own ADIF file, but getting back into database 
programming is just something I don't have time for.

I was just thinking that someone may have a copy of DXBase 2005-2007 that 
they are not using, since moving to DXLab, and would be willing to part with 
it cheaply...
