I guess I wasn't very clear about the problem. The serial number is part of the RST in EQF. Eqf isn't putting it into the IOTA field and DX4WIN is only showing it in the error message in he Notes field. The error message refers to it as an IOTA reference. The log entry in DX4WIN is OK except for the notes. I guess the fix is to manually edit the notes.
One of the locals says that is also what I'll have to do to enter the ARRL checked status in the QSO window. Sorry I wasn't clear and thanks for the help.
