[Dx4win] Award submissions

[J. F. Samuels]

You are correct that it will chose the latest card and flag that as "S".

But, if you want to submit a different card, you also have to "deselect" the 
one automatically set by the submission.  Otherwise, when the submitted 
cards return, and you run Reports | DXCC | Change award flags | DXCC Mixed | 
Submitted -> Checked, you will falsely indicate that the card automatically 
chosen for submission was actually checked.

After you run the above, you can manually change whatever is necessary to 
correct any errors -- like when a card you submitted has been rejected by 
the ARRL.  A few times they told me it was a duplicate submission -- I 
already had credit.  Of course, I didn't think I had submitted for that 
country before, so would carefully search previous submissions.  In some 
cases, I never found a previous one, so had to use the most recently 
submitted card anyway!  You'll never get it 100.00 percent correct.

I gave up manually changing the submissions, although I would have preferred 
to have used the oldest cards rather than newest.

Please, can anyone confirm what I believe re DX4Win's handling of Award
Submissions.

When you 'submit'(Reports/DXCC/Submission) for an award, DX4Win
automatically goes through its database and allocates the most recent
QSO that qualifies to confirm whatever it is you have asked it to
confirm. In this case DXCC Mixed.

Then, when/if you specifically 'Submit' a particular QSL via the logging
page, that QSL replaces the one automatically selected by the program.

Is that how it works?
