Ok so then it asks if I want to rewrite this file and I say no because I want to keep the original file in the save dir. so I can continue to add to it..  Iam afraid of screwing up the original file in my program... And it won't let me rename this file so that it can be a new file.....

Duane, I'm a little confused here.

Your DX4WIN log file has a ".DXL" file extension.  This is the file
you do not want to over-write (unless you are re-saving your log).  An
exported ADIF file will have a ".ADI" file extension.  When you try to
save the exported ADIF file, just type a unique name into the "File
name:" field in the "Save As" window.  That name will automatically
have the .ADI extension appended onto it when you save the file.

Then remember this name, because you will need it for whatever program
into which you are importing it.

Does this make sense?
