[Dx4win] FW: DX4Win/LoTW help and advice please - Again!

Andy,

uh oh - stop what you're doing.

Your latest error description is not what {i heard} you describe earlier.
You are now talking about receiving a duplicate record error upon IMPORTING
the downloaded records into DX4Win -- which should never happen. I suspect
that you are importing a LoTW file but not selecting the correct "Options
for duplicate QSOs". You must ensure that, after choosing the correct
downloaded file to import, you then select "Imported QSO sets Upload
Confirmed flag" from the Options list before pressing the <OK> button.

Essentially, an ADIF import from LoTW should never produce a duplicate
record error. If you're getting that error, you're doing the import
improperly.
