Ron, Based on what I see here, I disagree. DXbase is not leaving out anything. Whatever you are seeing must be the result of overlooking something in your own database and the QSOs that have already been marked as credited for DXCC. Or some misunderstanding about what the Award check boxes mean. To test this, I did the following:
I created a new empty database. I logged two QSOs with FO0AA. Both on 160m, one on CW, one on USB. I marked both as confirmed. I then prepared a DXCC submission with Mixed, CW, Phone, and 160 checked. Both QSOs were on the list ( as they should be ). If I only selected phone + 160, then only the 160m USB QSO is on the report ( as it should be ). If I select CW + 160, then only the CW QSO is on the report ( as it should be ). If I select Mixed + 160 then only one of the QSOs is selected ( as it should be since neither Mixed or 160 are mode specific). The results I get in this test were exactly as they should be. Maybe the misunderstanding is in what the boxes mean on the award creation form. CW means the ARRL CW award based on those rules. Phone means the ARRL Phone award, 160 means the ARRL 160m award, etc.... Maybe you are thinking that by checking CW it means you want CW QSOs and by also checking 160 you expected to get all CW Qsos on 160? That's not the way the feature is designed? Instead, it is designed purely based on what the ARRL defines to be the selection criteria for each different award.
