My question is I have noticed that my  .adi and .dxl file is saved in my Secondary Backup but not my DX4WIN program. If I look in c:/DX4W805/save I see the "Sample" log but not my "N4EPD" log and no n4epd.dxl or n4epd.~xl file. If I look in my Secondary Backup Directory  it is there. Why is it not being saved in DX4805/ save ?

Mike, when you re-open DX4WIN, your log comes up, correct?  I wonder
if you are saving the log in the secondary backup directory instead of
the primary backup directory.  This obviously defeats the purpose of
having a secondary backup directory!

Start DX4WIN.   Assuming it's loading your log, click, on File | Save.
At the top of this window will be a line that says "Look in:".  Click
on the down-arrow in this field. It will show you the directory where
DX4WIN is saving your log.

Exit this window, then File | Save As and navigate to your
DX4W805\SAVE directory.  Type in N4EPD.dxl and then save the log.  Now
exit DX4WIN and re-start.  Ensure you log is loaded.  Perform the same
steps above to see where DX4WIN saved your log file.  Ensure that it
was into your DX4W805\SAVE directory.
