The QSL manager date format matches the QSO date format in your preferences. There were some errors with importing QSL manager data into 6.02, the dates were changed wildly into the future, i.e. year 2057 and the like. There is no consistency to the error, so it's hard to fix them. If you suspect it's just a month/day swap, then send me your .TXT file (the one you exported/want to import, ZIPped of course) and I'll fix it for you. 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. the QSL manager database that comes with 6.03 is much better, and Release 9 will be better still. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC
