Hello Jordi,
In the latest beta version, there are several bugs regarding the statistics display and in the "Remarks" window.
The statistics display changes when switching from the "Input" window, (Picture left) to the "Logbook" (Picture right) Please see the attached images: Fail.jpg (incorrect display) vs. the "Input" window (which is correct). This message appears only when some statistics fields are populated.
In the "Remarks" window, the font is too small and cannot be changed.
It would be nice if the date were fully displayed in the input window; currently, a digit is always missing.
Regaridng the statistics, I detected a bug in the Quick Info window. Statistic status was not displayed properly only after saving or deleting a QSO. Statistic status changes when saving/deleting a QSO and Swisslog didn't refresh the info. Now it's fixed.
However, you have wrong information for OK1TN. Keep in mind that all club memebership related statistics (i.e.: CWOPS, FOC, HSC, ESHC, TEN TEN, etc) must be updated from time to time to display current information. OK1TN is no longer member of HSC, EHSC, SHSC and VHSC.
Swisslog offers a very interesting function to update the club membership number in all your QSO with a single click. Simply go to Tools / Update QSO's for Callsign based statistics then select the one you want to update then press the Update button. Repeat for every statistic you use. This way these statistics will display current information. I suggest to perfom this operation from time to time (maybe once a year).
Upon the initial launch, Windows Defender immediately raised an alarm, flagging it as a virus and removing the program. Since I assume this is a false positive, I have allowed the program to run.
The date display is now correct; it matches the standard Arial 10 font size.
The fonts in the "Remarks" and "Notes" sections remain too small, despite being set to standard Arial 10. They appear to be at a maximum size of Font 8. They only increase in size when switched to Font 11—and even then, they still appear at least 1–2 font sizes too small.
The statistics display within the logbook view is still buggy. Only the "VHSC" and "EHSC" lines are highlighted in yellow as new entries.
For the example shown in the image, the correct display for OK1TN should include the "CWOPs," "EHSC," "FOC," "HSC," "SHSC," and "VHSC" lines in red. Sometimes, however, the CWOP display is rendered correctly, as shown in this image. But that is not always the case.
If there are no entries in these fields, the display appears correctly.
This issue occurs with all logbook entries that contain statistical data.

RE: Display Errors
Hi Ingo,
Seems it's not so easy to change in runtime the font size to the RichEdit fields (like Remarks and Notes). I have been struggling my mind the whole day and seems there are some limitations.
I have released a beta today which seems to work most times but sometimes not. I will continue searching for a definitive solution but meantime we will have to deal with this small issue for these fields.
Regarding statistics, I have tested here working many QSO during the day and the Statistic Quick Info shows proper status.
The small font isn't really a big deal, since I can still read it. hi hi.
The glitchy statistics display, on the other hand, is quite annoying. I’ve exported a few lines from my logbook as an example to help illustrate the error.
Clicking on a specific line is supposed to highlight the associated memberships in color within the statistics display.
However, this doesn't happen when certain statistics fields are populated.
If no statistics fields are populated, the display works correctly.
Yet, if I double-click on a line containing populated statistics—thereby loading that entry into the input fields—the statistics display then appears correctly.
At the moment, I am still using an older version in which the statistics display still works correcctly.

RE: Display Errors
Hi Ingo,
What is curious is that you say that in older versions this didn't happen. I can't reproduce your issue here, all is working well on my side. Keep in mind that the Quick Info displays info from the last selected callsign, whichever it is! That is, if you click in a call in a Dx Window the Quick Info will display info for such call although there is a callsign in the QSO Entry. The "current" call is the one the user clcks or select.
I have been testing with many callsings here and it's working well so maybe you have a particular problem in your database. Send me your SwisslV5.ini file and also your database to my e-mail to test.
You’re amazing—everything is working just like it used to.
Many thanks.
I’ve been using Swisslog since the early 90s. Back then, I got my hands on the DOS version; while it worked, I never really warmed up to it. The initial Windows versions for Win95 were a huge improvement. I stuck with it from then on, buying every new version—3, 3.5, 4, 5, and 6—directly from the developer at the HamRadio show. It’s a shame that version 6 didn't really take off, due to Walter Baur’s accident.
But ever since you took over, things have kept moving forward with exemplary service, and the software has seen significant improvements—even though I don't use the full range of features anymore, like the excellent QSL printing I used to rely on.
