A big tip of the hat to Dean
Dean spent the entire weekend working on an issue that ended up being my pdf reader. He didn't have to do that but he did. Thanks Dean

Advanced Label Management in the N7XG logger
I had a need to print labels for my Direct contacts on the nets.
?
First I designed a label design in the Report Explorer, that will produce 8160 labels at 30 per sheet.? The page setup for this is .5" top and bottom margins and 0.19" for the left and right margin.? The Layout is 3 columns at 2.63" column width.? Column positions are .21, 3.25 and 5.9 for columns 1,2 and 3.? ?Column transversal is left to right with 0 Row Spacing.
?
Then I created my data by using the Contacts group, and used the fields Callsign, Date, Qsl Sent, Address and QSLinfo.
?
I then used the criteria of Qsl Sent = N and QSLinfo = Direct.? ?I sorted the output by Date.
?
This created the report that I wanted, all of my Direct contacts that I have not yet sent a QSL card to.? The label simply has Address and Callsign as the output.
?
The problem comes in when I have already used that sheet of labels to print a previous run of labels and lets say that the top 4 labels are used and gone from the sheet.? I want to start printing the needed address labels on position 5, counting from the top, moving left to right.? ?I solved this by entering a dummy contact into the log using my callsign, and I made sure to date it well before any other entry in the log.? I made sure that this dummy contact showed Not sent and Direct in the QSL data.? ?Then I cloned that dummy contact 3 times so that 4 identical contacts to my callsign are created, all not sent and Direct.
?
Since the output data is sorted by date, those dummy contacts print first, to the blank spots where there are no longer labels, and then in position 5, my first actual label is printed, continuing down the page until I have printed all the pending Direct/Not sent cards.? ?After the print job, all I have to do is hit update, and all those dummy contacts change to Sent and will not affect future printing.? (Be sure to print your QSL cards first!)? If I need to do another print job, I can edit however many of my dummy contacts I need for that run, or clone in some more.? ?Also remember that you can reverse top and bottom as you insert the label sheet into the printer, and start with no blank spots a second time for each sheet of labels.? ?Now I don't waste labels, and it is a lot of fun to make the program do this for me.
?
I hope this helps someone else!? I simply got tired of hand writing out 5-10 direct envelopes every time I managed my qsl cards and figured out a way to make it work using the computer instead.

Yes, everything was perfect until the upgrade.? Unlike you however,? my backup is still working perfectly. This is a major upgrade... I? expected a few issues.? Now that we have a good idea what they are,? it's time to call in Dean.? I will call him in the morning.

Hi Tim,
I am seeing the same issues that you are.? I am finding it difficult to check my log against what the logger is saying I need to work on the nets and I have noticed several cases where it says I dont need someone, when I actually do.? The most annoying thing however is that EVERYONE is labeled as DIRECT and this is what prints out on the cards instead of ccDX or cc40.? I am going into every contact that I know I have sent cards to via the buro, and editing in cc40 in the qsl data before I print the card.? ?I have also had to switch to FCC database lookups because the QRZ lookups dont work.??
?
Dean and I have talked and he wants to get on my PC to do some testing.? I have everything set up for him to do that, we simply need to work out the best time.
?
I am sure he will get everything worked out soon.??

Cary,

I am having similar issues, since I upgraded, I noticed that CCL is not pulling information from the club profiles, or QRZ, every contact is shown as DIRECT, and stating that CCL is not pulling data from QRZ.
?
I did e-mail Dean, but I am sure this is just as busy a time for him as it is for everyone else.

Every thing is stored under the logger folder.
How were these images created?
In your example below there are the folders that the report
manager uses to store report formats.
How did you restore from your old computer?

Hi,

?My old computer is on its last bytes. The hard drive is
starting to fail so I bought a new computer. It took a while but
I finally have N76XG/CC Logger restored with all of my contacts.
However, I would like to get my QSL card moved to this computer.
When I start the logger in the old computer I get a small file
manager with the top folder as "All Folders". Where is that in
the old computer? I would like to copy that folder and all of
it's sub folders to a flash drive so I can bring them over to
THIS computer.

?The image below is from this computer. I can't find these
folders in either this computer or the old one (other than
within the CC Logger).
