I am confused about the name you wrote above. In 8.05 the two LoTW items are:

- Export to LoTW - saves your latest QSOs to an ADIF file to be signed
and uploaded to LoTW

- Import from LoTW - imports the lotwreport.adi into DX4WIN, which
only sets the LoTW confirmed flags.

I believe in earlier versions they were called "Export for LoTW" and
"Import for LoTW".  I asked Paul to change the names slightly because
using simply "for" in both cases was confusing.

Someone said to choose "import sets confirmed flag" - that's not
necessary in version 8, only version 7 (unless you do the import
manually via the Import/Export (ADIF) menu.

So exactly WHICH menu(s) did you go through to try to export?  I
wonder if you're having some sort of directory permission problem.
Try saving the exported ADIF file somewhere else (like My Documents)
and see if the error goes away.
