As I understand the Help files, the "Preferences-QSO-QSO Date" setting should affect searches for QSL Date as well as QSO Date. When I set Preferences-QSO-QSO Date to "exact" and then filter on QSL Date, the filter returns a >= result. Is this a bug in the program or in my understanding? 73, Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC NV SM E-mail: k7vc at arrl.org
