Hi dear Jordi,
Thank you very much for this new version. You are doing a good job!
Is it possible not to display one of the new columns of the window "DXCC messages"?

Hi Jean Marie:

Thank you for your words! If you don,t want to see either the Lotw or eQsl AG new columns in the Dx messages windows simply adjust the affected column so that it,s nearly invisible. Or adjust the wide size of the other columns. These new columns are very narrow so they are easy to fit.

Ciao Jordi,

i have the same request (i do no like not to be able to customize colors, hide columns etc)
I tried your suggestions, but in my case I'm unable to completely hide the eQSL column. Also, when i try to do it,
the title of the next column ) in my case DXCC, is messing up.
If you want, i can provide a screenshot. Of course, if you can enable some options in the next release, then it would be nice.
I now reverted to the old 5.9d

In any case, i appreciated there is someone behind the program and bring Walter's work at his best.
Gracias.

Thank you for the update. Looks fine from what I have seen so far.

The only problem is I'm getting an error message when first starting and when trying to update the tables from the Internet:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'INF_TABLESLASTUPDATE'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly."

Did that slip through in the download, or do I need to anything to update the database schema?

Hi Fulvio,

Yes you are right about the DXCC column messing up when narrowing the eQSL column...I want you all to understand that when I'm implementing new functions I always want to add an option so that users can enabled or disabled it. But many times this is not as easy as you may think. In case of the DX message window as it's programmed it's very complicated to do many things. Keep in mind that the "simple" thing of writing the header text in vertical (as it is in the statistic columns or Lotw and eQSL) it was a nightmare to do this!!! for the user's view may seem very easy but believe me, I have never seen something so complicated to understand in the code to simply write a text vertical. It must be programmed (it's not like Microsfot Word) and it's not intuitive or easy to understand (at least for me and my Delphi code skills). And this is only a simple thing from the user's view... Honestly I don't know if in a future version I will be able to add an option to enable/disable these columns... every little thing I'm adding into Swisslog needs many many hours.

But I'm very amazed that for this small thing (only some milimeters of new space in the DX message window) you prefer to use version 5.9d instead of the new version where it's full of important corrections (database compression, MyQTH error...) as well as updated statistics, etc. I know I can't make everybody happy but I really think it's very difficult to make YOU happy with Swisslog.. Sad I'm very sorry to hear that but obviously you are free to do what it's best for you. I'm trying to do the best for everybody and I feel a bit sad when for a simple thing like this one user prefer to not update to the last version when it's full of new improvements. Now I understand how frustrated felt Walter sometimes when he received some user's feedback when we talked about Swisslog in the past. However thank you for suggestions and your message. Just I wanted to explain that unfortunately I'm not able to implement all things I want.

RE: NEW version 5.91 - EA3GCV - 04-12-2015

Dear Carsten,

These error appears because it seems the new statistic table has not been properly installed (the new statistic table included a new table needed for the new functions) and it seems Swisslog is updated but using the older statitic table... normally these only occurs when the installation has not been made with full administrator rights.

Try to reinstall again with you have to first disable UAC, restart then run the installer as administrator. If you are still in trouble please download Teamviewer Quick Support here:

These evening I will try to be QRV on skype from 1730-1930 UTC (username jordiqq) so that you can send the ID and password to make a remote connection with you and see online what may happen.

Dear Jordi,

First of all, thank you very much for the update!

I don't know whether it is my computer or the software but it takes a long time until the programme starts. I also do not get an error message.

Do you maybe know why the programme needs so long?

Best 73 Andreas
