Fwd: Re: [Dx4win] Filtering and DXCC Award Submission

[Mike Rhodes]

Ok, I think I'm getting confused (imagine that!!) but it seems to me that
manually setting the 'submit' flag takes care of what both of you are
looking for. If you have run a submission function for DXCC but have already
submitted and received credit for some Qs that are not marked, then DX4Win
will make its best guess as to which ones you want to submit. Its logic is
that you are most likely to be able to find the most recent QSLs received so
that is why it starts from today and goes back in time for the search. If
you have Qs marked for submission but they are not the right ones, go into
'reports', 'change award flags' and clear the submit flags for the group you
do not want (i.e., DXCC MIXED, etc.). Then go in and manually mark the ones
already approved for DXCC as 'checked'. NOW you can run a new submission and
it will flag the MOST RECENT Qs for submission on your next go-round.
Remember that none of these flags will stick until you save your log.
Therefore, I would suggest going thru and clearing the submit flags and then
save the log. Next, go thru and mark the ones that are already approved for
DXCC and save the log. You may want to run a report to verify you caught all
the submitted ones. NOW, start playing with the manual and automatic submit
situations. If you get results you don't like, just close the log and reopen
it and you are back to the last saved version. Great way to learn what you
will get when you try different functions. If you are really concerned about
messing something up, make a backup of your log file (better yet, the entire
SAVE' folder) to another location or a floppy and you will have to try
REALLY hard to hurt yourself.

Hope this helps.

Exactly!  I'd like a box that says "USE THIS ONE FOR AWARDS" or something to
that effect.  You don't want to have to only mark confirmed those cards that
you keep in the bank vault.  ;-)
