This single record was in the error file after import as a "prefix error", so I entered it manually into DXbase. No problem, I changed prefix to KC4 and Zone 38. Problem solved, but I will now ALWAYS check the error log!

Writelog had DP1POL wrong (showed DL). Even if I import this QSO (beside abt. 900 others) it will show up in DXBase as Antartica (KC4). What happens if you enter DP1POL 'manually' into DXBase? Will it show up correctly? Regards, Carsten, DL6LAU -----Urspr=FCngliche Nachricht----- Von: Carsten Esch=20 Gesendet: Montag, 27.

Oktober 2003 17:25 An: 'DXBase' 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...
