hello Joe,

ok, but sometimes it happens that I run only SpotCollector to see if there is something interesting on the bands, so I think that it's better to have the same database aligned everywhere.

What I don't know, as I wrote, is why the same database opened with Access still shows Swaziland...

ghassman,

QRZ.com --> XML data , 30s timeout, checked ignore geocoded grid.

Has your XML subscription expired? XML is a separate "paid for"
service of QRZ.com.

When I type in 3DAO into Outgoing spot and create a local spot it comes up as Swaziland both in SC and DXV.

Who cares? It shows 3DA0 and Country Code 468 ... the Country Code
is the only important identifier as that is what ARRL use. The prefix
and "entity name" are only for human consumption.

Swaziland -> Eswatini is no different than Yugoslavia -> Serbia,
British Guyana -> Guyana, Dutch Guyana -> Suriname, etc.

"Swaziland."
At the present time, I am targeting a new DXCC database
when the British government make official the change in
VP8-G, VP8-H, VP8-O, VP8-S and VP8-A to VP0 prefixes.
That is, unless there is an unexpected change elsewhere
that impacts callsign prefixes or creates new/deletes an
entity.

I tried that today and local spots generated by me
are still coming up as Swaziland. I did recomputes
for DXK and Spot Collector neither made any
difference. Is there something else I should have
done?

Copying a new/modified copy of DXCC.mdb to the DXKeeper and
SpotCollector directories is unnecessary. DXLab Suite is smart
enough to recognize that DXView has been installed and use the
copy of DXCC.mdb installed by DXView in all applications.

The "local" copy of DXCC.mdb (in the DXKeeper/SpotCollecor directories)
is only used if DXK/SC is the only application installed.

I have just checked again my DXCC.mdb with DXView and it says eSwatini for 3DA (I have made the change some weeks ago). But the strange thing is that if I open DXCC.mdb with Access, it still says Swaziland! Is there something I've forgotten to modify?

Dave the Joe DX message isn't the problem at this point. SC and DXV are not reporting the correct country in their dialog boxes.

Joe this is not related to Joe DX. When I type in 3DAO into Outgoing spot and create a local spot it comes up as Swaziland both in SC and DXV.

After a long absence from my radio ham activity due to health issues, and after relocating, I re-assembled my shack, radios, amp, antennas and PCs.
Fired the beast and all went running very smoothly as if it was only yesterday that I used the radio last.
Anyway, 6 months with the whole thing unplugged, plugged in again, updated all dxlab suite apps, data bases, and related peripherals, all went as expected, except that I am receiving a QRZ not logged in message I guess from spot collector, also any callsign in put in the capture window returns call not found, which means orz is not working.
I went to orz site, checked my subscription, it is ok and valid. I don�t have activated the two steps authentication and I thought it could be this.

I am sure other hams have experienced the same glitch, and I am sure it was discussed on the forum and solved. I was unable to find it in my group emails because of the huge amount of messages that passed through during the past 6 months of inactivity.

Can you advise on how to solve this issue? Or maybe pointing me towards the thread that deals with it?

Pathfinder is the DXLab program that logs into QRZ.  Check your userid and password in the Config Window and "Automatic login" is checked.  I think the warning you are getting could be because you have "Warn if not logged in" Checked.

Dave, With Interrogation checked on the General tab.
With Capture and display unchecked and Interrogation checked then S meter action in Messages.

+ correct

If I uncheck Interrogation the S meter freezes or drops to Zero in Messages

+ correct

If I uncheck Interrogation in Messages then Interrogation unchecks by itself on the General tab.

+ That's intentional. Disabling or enabling interrogation in the Messages window also disables or enables t on the Configuration window's General tab, and disabling or enabling Interrogation on the Configuration window's General tab disables or enables interrogation in the Messages window. Think of it as a single interrogation status that you can control from either the Messages window or the Configuration window's General tab.

Dave, In Commander Messages if I have Capture and display Primary Port Messages checked and have Interrogation unchecked then there is no S meter reading on the main screen.

+ correct

If I then check Interrogation then the S meter works and CI-Vs are scrolling on the screen.

+ correct

If I uncheck Capture and display and have Interrogation unchecked then there is S meter action.
Interrogation is checked on the General tab.

+ What sequence of steps results in an checked Interrogation box (Configuration window, General tab) with the Continuous box unchecked in the Messages window's Interrogation panel?

The interfering software appears to be the "NVIDIA LocalSystem Container" service.  I can stop the service from loading, but then the NVIDIA control panel will not run, so that is irritating.  Is there nothing else that can be done?

+ You could engage NVIDIA support and ask them to correct whatever defect is responsible for impacting DXLab.

I just did what you suggested and SC still is
showing Swaziland.

+ So that I can see what's going on, please place the DXCC database you modified in a zip archive, attach the archive to an email message, and send the message to me via
