Looks like DXBase hasn't been updated in 6 years.  And I don't see where it accepts logging packets so it will never be supported by JTAlert unless that changes (which seems unlikely)>

So perhaps it's time to migrate to another logger as painful as that may sound.

I personally like Log4OM as being fairly simple to use with many features if you want them...similar to DXBase.

I have been using FT8 since I first heard of it. I thought I might utilize JTAlert, but have some questions.

First: The "Wanted" category. Am I correct in assuming you need to link it somehow to your Log ?

Otherwise, how does it know what you need.

Second: I am a well satisfied user of DXBase, but do not see it listed in the "Supported" Logging Programs.

Does that mean I cannot use the "Wanted" function ?

Thanks for any clarification you may provide.

Not really an JTAlert problem, but after a week, I haven't had any takers on the HRD Yahoo group and there are some REALLY knowledgeable folk here. I have HRD ver 5, JTAlert ver2.10.7 andWSJT-X ver 1.8.0.
My laptop running Vista died - hardware fault. I had a backup on a usb drive but my wife's laptop is running Windows 10 and you can't just restore from Vista to Win 10! After 3 restore cycles and several days of copying files, I have most of my files and most programs work. The HRD Logbook is a problem! It will start from HRD or by itself, but won't load any records and stops responding. If I Run as Administrator and it loads the log records and reads from and writes to Digital Master and JTAlert.

If I launch JTAlert without Run and Admin, I get this error message:

Sorry, there has been an error!

I tried changing the owner of logbook and the data file to the original user, made sure administrator isn't check in their properties, made sure my user has full privileges, copied the JTAlert and HRD directories to the original user AppData directory. Not sure what else to do except Run and Admin and tolerate the "Are you sure?" warning! Any better ideas?

There are now 3 Users on the machine - D, the original, S, the Vista user, and D.S. i don't know where DdotS came from and it has no login and most of its file folders are empty. Once everything is working, I plan on deleting the S and D.S users, just for housekeeping.

 

Thanks and 73
