When Iam in Dx4win and click on Lotw, it asks me to select a file,I select

the save dir. so I can continue to add to it.. Iam afraid of screwing up
the original file in my program... And it won't let me rename this file so
that it can be a new file.....
Duane, I'm a little confused here.
Your DX4WIN log file has a ".DXL" file extension. This is the file
you do not want to over-write (unless you are re-saving your log). An
exported ADIF file will have a ".ADI" file extension. When you try to
save the exported ADIF file, just type a unique name into the "File
name:" field in the "Save As" window. That name will automatically
have the .ADI extension appended onto it when you save the file.
Then remember this name, because you will need it for whatever program
into which you are importing it.
Does this make sense?
