Can't Update QSLs

[VK3BZ (ex VK3EUL)]

Hi All

I have updated to Version 2 and now, when I printed out my last lot of labels, all went ok til I pressed the update button. It says that the qsls weren't printed so will not update. Ideas please?

Hi Jeff

There were no changes in this area in v2, so should operate the same as before.

If there was an error in printing or printer not on etc, you should be getting dialog boxes with prompts to this effect and if accepting the Yes or OK prompt the Log database should go ahead and update.

I just tried it on my installation and it seems OK.

Mention you exact procedure and I'll try and simulate same here.

Hi Colin

Everything is as normal when I print the labels, when I click update QSLs then I get the normal pop up telling me that I am about to update the log database etc. I push yes then immediately another pop up says If you update the log database now without printing the labels etc. I click yes and a small window says labels have not been printed, I click OK and that is that, the callsigns are still there and no update.
The OS is Windows 98 SE and the printer is an Epson 480, I have no other problems with the printer and it works perfectly.

Hope this explains enough

Hello again Jeff

I have looked at the code but can not see what or where the problem is.

It certainly is updating OK on my system, switching off the printer to cause the error (no labels printed), and still it updates OK as expected.

You could try un-checking all the 'checkable' options in the Print QSL options window (those in "ADVANCED", "QSL Via", and "Select label").

If anyone else reading has this error then maybe we can narrow down the area where the problem is occuring.

I did not make any changes v1.9 - v2.00 to the code that works the QSL label printing procedures.

Hi Colin

Tried everything, played round in advanced checking and unchecking to no avail still would not update so tried linear approach.
Have two hard drives on the computer so loaded Winlog32 on D drive and transferred logs across to the new install, worked fine updated every time.

Still doesn't say what happened to the one on C drive but at least now I can play around with it and it is not critical. If I find the fault will let you know, thanks for your help

Hmmm.... Strange one that Jeff!

Still can't think what it could be, but if it's working now then lets hope it stays that way hi hi, if anyone else reports the problem, perhaps we can find some 'common' ground, until then.....

Hi Colin,
Still the same problem with build 9. Couple of things I noticed:-
1 First two labels in the list had gone but the entry in the logbook had B instead of D
2 SWL cards printed but they were not shown in the list in the QSL window

Hope this helps
