Steve,
That is great, and you are on the team to present the merits and workings  of 
DXBase - I am putting together a PowerPoint presentation on DXLab Suites -  
why don't you do the same for DXBase?

I will  add my two cents to this, I use DXBASE, and being using it for at
least the  past 10 years or so, the folks at scientific solutions sure put
together a  great product; the current version 2007 is very solid and stable.

Their  reflector is excellent for support, and a few of us have helped
provide the  product with add-ons and utility, Joe WA6AXE is always writing
free add-ons  or reports for the product as well, his website contains tons
of reports  for the different versions of the product as well.

Last year, Joe wrote  a batch process for lotw, which it is just a simple
executable that you  configure with your lotw password, and does the whole
thing, from creating  the adif, it then runs the tqsl on the file, and
uploads it to the lotw  site, with the same token you can do a download of
your logs with this  interface, and this at the same time updates your
database. I can pretty  much send or receive my lotw qso in just a few
clicks.

I just  finished helping Joe with getting his AXETTY shareware working with
dxbase  using the mtty engine, so you can actually send your rtty qso
automatically  into dxbase. 

One of the things that attracted me to this software was  their reports, you
can actually get the submissions forms all fill out for  you for any of the
major awards, and it will keep track of the thing  already submitted. At the
same time, if you know how to use crystal  reports, you can pretty much get
anything out of the  database.

Anyway, that is my take...
