[Dx4win] Duplicate QSO's - Import Crashes

[Lee Hallin]

Hi Art,
 
  I haven't tried your exact scenario but you might check the following:
 
1) Backup your log to a different name!
 
2) Go to Preferences -> QSO -> then check "Show seconds in time"
     I don't know if this only effects the visual display or if it alters what portion of the
     "time" gets used during date/time comparisons.
 
3) Go to Preferences -> Import. 
    Click the down arrow and select "Show QSO information and ask"
    This may or may not address your concern; depending on whether it logs questionable QSOs
    as separate QSOs or overwrites previous QSO with the current one.

There are times when there will be duplicate QSO's while
importing, such as a state QSO party when a station is
sitting on a county line. That station is entered twice to
pick up each county mult. But when importing to DX4WIN,
the import crashes due to 'duplicate QSOs', which they are
not.

Question:  Why does DX4WIN stop an import due to a
dupe? There should just be a question at that time.
   Continue with Import?
This causes so much trouble as the 'dupes' have to
be taken out of the ADIF file and then re-entered into
DX4WIN manually. And they aren't even dupes...

Needs a change or am I missing a checkbox somewhere?
