[Dx4win] Import error help

Norm,

It may be easier to convert the file to ADIF and then use the ADIF import.
Here is a link to a program written by KH2D that converts a comma delimited
ascii file to ADIF.  The program is called asc2adif.

> Dear DX4WIN Users,

> I am having some troubles importing a comma delimited file, originally
> created in Excel. The file has about 3500 QSOs. After going through the
> various steps as per the manual, I can only import 1763 of the QSOs. Most
of
> the records have an error that looks like this in the Notes For This QSO
> field, this one from the record for NO7F:
>
> Error:Band=10 |91 ARRL 10 MTR; 19911215 03:00 WH6CMJ 57 R 10 SSB HI 91
ARRL
> 10 MTR;
>
> The comma delimited file looks like this:
> 19911215,02:59,NO7F,57,,10,SSB,,OR,,,'91 ARRL 10 MTR;
> 19911215,03:00,WH6CMJ,57,R,10,SSB,,HI,,,'91 ARRL 10 MTR;

these
