[Dx4win] Problem with downloaded QSOs from LOTW

Good Morning, all...

I've had something odd take place this morning.  I did a download 
from LOTW this morning, uploaded to DX4W without any apparent 
problem, and then for some reason, I decided to look at three QSOs 
I had with T27A in February to see if he had QSLd yet.  According 
to the download from LOTW all three of my QSOs were confirmed, but 
when I looked in DX4W reports for DXCC summary, the number had not 
gone up.  I checked the actual QSOs themselves in DX4W and the 
"upl conf" still was showing "N".  I downloaded again, this time 
going back to the first of February, uploaded into DX4W again, no 
problems reported, but still no QSLs from T27A.

I then went back into my log, cleared the UPL date, reset the UPL 
flags all the way back to February and resent the .TQ8 to LOTW. 
Gave it an hour or so to chew on it and then downloaded from LOTW, 
going all the way back to February again.  Uploaded that .adi file 
to DX4W...still no UPL CONF for the T27A station.  I checked the 
details on the DX4W log with the ADIF file and they matched to the 
minute, same band, same mode, same everything (except I don't 
record seconds in my QSOs), but there was still no confirmation of 
these QSO even though I was sitting there looking at the two 
things which are, for all reasonable purposes, identical.

It also just occurred to me that usually if there is a QSO in LOTW 
which is QSLd but not found in the DX4W log (usually a contest Q), 
there is a report indicating that and DX4W tells you there was a 
problem and to check that report. Nothing of that sort took place 
any of the times I downloaded those QSOs.

I've checked everything I can think of, including the QSO tab, 
which is checked for card or upload for the confirmation.

HELP!!!!!

73, and thanks in advance,

Karl, K1KO
