[Dx4win] CONTACTS ADDED TO DXCC ERRONEOUSLY

[billcooper9800 at sbcglobal.net]

    Would someone please assist me with a problem that developed after I downloaded the Country file that was modified on 3 Nov., '07??

    I have been using version 7.01, and the main purpose has been to secure the DXCC award.  I had 84 confirmed countries as printed by "Reports - DXCC - Submission".  

    After the download my confirmed list keeps growing WITHOUT any new contacts, and the printout is now 91, and all of the 7 new ones are for Japan.  These 7 new contacts did not appear all at once; they appeared one at a time, and only after I closed and reopened the program - DX4WIN.

    After I downloaded the new  Country file, I did not merge it with the old CTY file.  I simply moved the old file out of the "SAVE" and put the new CTY file into the SAVE folder.  I believe these JA calls are being added to my award list because of an incorrect setting in the "Change Award Flags".  However, I do not know what settings should be use to correct this problem.

    Also, I do not know how to remove these 7 erroneous JAPAN contacts from the DXCC Award without removing them totally from my log.

    Any and all help will certainly be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
