Thanks for your reply Mike, much appreciated.  I have used the 'Compare' 
utility that Jim made up (Thanks Jim!) and I've change about half of the 
mismatches to what I thought they should be but I stopped half way 
through because I wasn't sure which of the 3 drop-downs (made visible by 
F5) I should select or change, S, C or I.

The last paragraph, number (2) of Jim's article is interesting though.  
Unfortunately the 'Account Credits' chart it doesn't break down how an 
award was broken down for credit such as for Mixed, Band or Mode or all 
three.  That's why I was hoping I could merge the LOTW DXCC QSO file 
into DX4WIN log to make those selections for me automatically.

I've using DX4WIN since it was introduced, which I believe was before 
LOTW was even created, but I really didn't know how to address those 
entries.  Certainly it was laziness on my part for not taking the time 
to figure it out or asking Paul how to make those selections 
accurately.  I'll work on this though because I have retired and now 
would like DX4WIN to reflect the correct information.

Thanks again,  N1JP
