Hello All,
             I must have made a copy of kv3r.dxl when I did a contest 
import into DX4WIN. It is located in C:\Temp2. Yesterday I was looking 
files in "My Computer" and saw the kv3r.dxl in temp2. I clicked on it and 
the program loaded. When I exited the program and restarted it I thought it 
would use the kv3r.dxl file that is located in dx4w503\save directory. I 
entered 136 buro cards and printed the labels. Later I found out I was 
using the wrong kv3r.dxl file ( the one in Temp2). This one is the most up 
to date log file in QSO's and QSL's. Can I just rename the one in 
dx4w503\save (the bad log file) and move it to Temp2 and then move the good 
one from Temp 2 to dx4w503\save? I would also have to do the same for both 
kv3r.~xl files. Am I on the right track?
I also have a Temp.dxl and a Temp.~xl file in dx4w503\save that is a copy 
of a contest import I did. Guess I can just delete them, right? The import 
worked just fine so I guess I no longer need the back up of the contest log.

It's funny how the program will open which ever log file was the last one 
used every time you start the program. If I go to My computer and click on 
the kv3r.dxl in the Temp2 directory it will open the program. If I close 
the program and open it again it will use the kv3r.dxl file in Temp2 again. 
If I click on the kv3r.dxl file in dx4w503\save, it will open that log 
file. Close the program and open it again, it will use the kv3r.dxl file in 
dx4w503\save again.

Hope I made this understandable, I get confused when I read it!

Thanks for your help.

P.S. Am I the only one who has not worked VK9ML yet?
