[WT-support] Support Digest, Vol 121, Issue 11

[IZ4MJP Franco]

Hello Bob.

> Tools -> Data Entry -> Exchange Guessing.  Change it to "Pressing the space
> bar".  Problem fixed?

No. It was the first thing i did bit it seems that this Menù setup doesn't work.

There is no difference using one of the 3 choices (Pressing The SpaceBar, Automatic, After a delay).

Wint Test seems to ignore that all the choices in this sub menu are disabled.

I use WintTest since 2007 and for me is so far the best Contest log software.

Thanks for the link you put in the answer but i have not any skills in the Macro Programming area.

I only hope to see a future release of WinTest on which i can disable the Automatic Guessing of fields that are not necessary (with ESM) when operate with ESM.

For you info i use the last release of WT on a Win 7 Pro Intel I3 PC.

I apologise for my poor written English.

In SSB mode all works fine because when in S/P and hitting the Return Key i don't need to have the Call field filled.

But on RTTY when i click on a spot and then check that the call is the same as i see spotted the only operation i have to do is to click on the Zone and State voices.

Thank you
