Paul is aware of this problem.  You probably have award values for
some awards that are not valid/listed in the awards file.

The way to check this is in version 7, export your log in DX4WIN6 format.

Now in version 8, create an empty log and import that .DXQ file as
DX4WIN6 format.  DX4WIN will probably report some import errors.
Using F8, search for "Import" in the "Notes for this QSO" field, and
you will see the errors.   Either write them down, or open the Logbook
window and print them.  Now you can open your original log in version
8, and go to those QSOs to fix them.  If you need help, let me know.

If you have custom awards you have added to dx4win.awd, I can add them
to the master file that I distribute.  Send me your awards file!
