[WriteLog] Prefilling WL fields from master list

[Eric - VE3GSI]

Hi Rick,
I think you just need to use a master data base converter.

If you go to www.dxatlas.com and look for addition programmes in the
programmers corner you should be able to find a programme called MASTER DATA
EDITOR. I use it to create and maintain my own data base(s) for WriteLog.

Give it a go,
Eric - VE3GSI

-> In order to save even more typing (subject to any changes 
-> needed or error 
-> corrections during a QSO), I would like to pre-fill 
-> (populate) the FD 
-> section field based upon the callsign entered.  My master 
-> list here output 
-> here can either be in a true ascii comma delimited .csv format or 
-> tab-delimited .txt file...or .dbf, etc.
-> 
-> What I am looking for is the step-by-step process to:
-> 
-> 1. Convert my own .csv, .txt, .dbf, etc. callsign + section 
-> name DB to 
-> whatever file format it is that works with WriteLog (TR uses 
-> TRMASTER.DTA 
-> which allows importing of a .csv file).
-> 
-> 2. The procedure for installing & configuring the 
-> (converted) master list 
-> into WriteLog.
-> 
-> 3. What to click on within WriteLog to make pre-fill 
-> (populate) the section 
-> field upon entry of a callsign (this happens automatically 
-> once a station 
-> has been worked on another band/mode).
-> 
-> Tnx for any info/solutions.
