Juha,
I cannot reproduce that. The upload cfm flag changes to Y but the county
is not updated. The upload flag was N before the import. These
contacts were not confirmed by card. I am using v 6.04. The adif file
contains the county in the following format <CNTY:11>MN,HENNEPIN. Is
this format good for 6.04?
