Re: "Inbound OQRS" greyed out
Sounds straightforward enough, I guess I just need to see it in action. How am I alerted by DX Keeper? Does it download the requests automatically or do I have to go in every day and check to see if there are new requests? Does Clublog also email me to let me know a request was made? I guess that's the part I'm unsure about.
I have about 15 outgoing bureau card requests in my "add requested" queue (from my last incoming bureau shipment). Will these added requests display anywhere else other than when I enqueue requested labels to print? If (fictitious call) XX9XXX requests a bureau card from me, will it display anywhere other than when I go to run bureau labels? The practical reason for this is that if I get a direct OQRS request (unlikely for a garden-variety stateside station like me) I'd like to send off a card same-day. I usually send bureau cards out at club meetings once a month (I'm a bureau letter manager and get free outbound cards as a perq of the job). |

Re: Reload DXLab after IS Reinstall
Dave - Took your first recommendation - Uninstalled DXLab apps tks to the Dell Techs who used Revo Reg Cleaner Pro They cleaned it all out, and then I did a New Download from the DXLab web site. Installed Launcher and used it to install all Apps. Uploaded my DXKeeper Log file and updated all other missing data (I must not have done the Workspace saving correctly since had to re enter most data). Keeper Uploads to LoTW, and other apps seem to work all OK. So, my DX Lab Suite on the problem computer appears to be back up to full operations. . . . and the world is now safe!! ? Thanks for your continuing assistance. ? Best regards, Alan K9MBQ? -----Original Message----- |

Invoking the "Add Requested" function on the Main window's QSL tab will add them to the QSL Queue, just as if you'd manually processed incoming QSL cards. Dave, AA6YQ |

Two users subsequently reported lost "spot source" windows in SpotCollector, but that was the result of a failure to employ the "auto relocate" capability when restoring those specific windows, a defect that has been corrected. Your report of a missing window in Commander is the first such report; Commander should have automatically relocated your "lost" Edit window to your primary monitor. 1. on the Configuration window's General tab, check the "log debugging info" boxIf this should happen again, please do the following: 2. terminate Commander 3. start Commander 4. on the Configuration window's General tab, ucheck the "log debugging info" box 5. attach the errorlog.txt file from your Commander folder to an email message describing what happened (e.g. identifying the "lost" window) and send it to me via aa6yq (at) ambersoft.com 73,Thanks!

Re: DXKeeper QSL Printer config problem

While using my "normal" Windows login I can see the printer and the forms in Print server properties and print test pages so it appears that all is properly installed. Yet DXK isn't seeing the forms with those names. Clean boot gives same result. Suggestions? 73,DXKeeper populates each "Paper Size" selector with ~40 standard paper sizes. It then queries Windows to determine if any additional paper sizes are supported by the selected printer, and if so adds those to the "Printer Size" selector. Presumably Windows responds by querying the appropriate printer device driver. Thus if an expected paper size is not appearing the "Paper Size" selector, all I can suggest is that you contact whoever provided your printer driver. Dave, AA6YQ |

Re: Reload DXLab after IS Reinstall
Evidently "when lost WIN 7 OS and Dell reinstalled lost programs and Apps which have mostly reinstalled" left your system in inconsistent state. The only reliable course of action (short of wiping the C: drive) that I can recommend is to

1. save backup copies your log, Workspaces, and any other critical data files some place safe, if you haven't already 2. direct Windows to uninstall whatever DXLab applications it can 3. use a competent Windows Registry Cleaner application to eliminate all vestiges of each DXLab applications from your system 4. proceed as if you were relocating DXLab to this system for the first time Hopefully, that will be effective. If not, you'll have to save all of your other application data, wipe the C: drive, re-install Windows, and then re-install your applications. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----
