Lee, I ran into the same situation and gave up printing on QSL cards with 5.03. I still have old Version 5.02 on my computer and use it to print my cards. However, I don't know if the Version 5.03 log (.dxl) file is a backward compatible format for Version 4.07. Someone else will have to answer that for us. 73, Bob - N9SF
