Good Day All,
I've really become rather attached to Paul's programme...it seems to be THE
most user-friendly contest software that I've found yet!
Indeed, I've already used it to submit my logsheets --- electronically --- to
the folks at RAC for this weekend's runiing of the RAC Winter
Contest...however, I've run into a snag with the Stew Perry sheets...
Specifically, I'm using Paul's programme for POST-contest log submission
only...and here's the issue: I made close to 300 QSOs, and as I was entering
each call & time after the fact, I got called away to run an errand in town
after having had 49 QSOs entered. I typed in "end", and went on my rounds. When
I returned, I called up the the file of log entries, and attempted to simply
"carry on" from where I had left --- but the TIME on the computerized log sheet
showed REAL TIME only...and I could NOT get the cursor into the time field to
change it to actual log time...
But that's not all: a short while later, I attempted to retrieve my partially
completed log again, & a black screen came up, saying that I had entered some
illegal entry as a file name into the programme!
Now I really AM confused...
Have I effectively LOST those 49 post-contest QSOs that I entered...? Can they
be retrieved...? If I'm entering QSOs post-contest, do I HAVE to be here, in
front of the computer, until it's all done...? There MUST be some way to
"CONTINUE" with entries, I would think...what if I made 1000 QSOs, & had to
close down the computer at QSO #999...?! Would I later have to start all over
again at QSO #1...?
BTW, when I later tried to access the log, I left the title blank & keyed the
enter button --- sure enough, its title that I gave it showed up as a file in
the computer...but when I clicked on it, it said I was "...illegal"...
Any & all guidance / direction would be most appreciated...! Thanks in advance,
& vy
