Betreff: [DXBase] Very weird import anomaly


After CQWW I exported my modest 810-record Cabrillo log and also the
adif file.  Then imported the adif into DXbase 2004.  The import showed
810 records imported, no errors.  Went to bed.

For some odd reason I took a look this morning at the Cabrillo to check
the zone number for DP1POL in Antarctica.  Saw it was 38.
Coincidentally, I then went into DXbase to add this QSO to the pending
label file.  No record of DP1POL.  It's right there in the Cabrillo.
It's right there in the adif.  But even though it was one of the 810
records imported "successfully", it was not in the DXbase log!  The
QSO's just before and just after it are right there, however.

I suppose I can do another import and see whether 809 records are dupes
and maybe DP1POL will make it then.  But I'm puzzled...suppose I didn't
just happen to look for this specific record, but found that I had
imported only 809 records instead of the 810 I exported to adif.  Then
imagine I had a competitive contest station and had to look through
maybe 1,300 records to find the one that disappeared during the import!

Jack, any thoughts on how this could occur?  Any other users had this
experience?  Now I'm not sure I haven't had it myself before this...
