[Dx4win] How do I reset the label flag on 1600 QSOs

[Alan Zack]

I just want to throw in that if you discovered the mistake before you saved the log you can exit without saving and the Y will be gone when you reopen DX4WIN. In other words the log will reopen to how it was before you made the changes but did not save the changes. A warning will come up when you attempt to exit telling you the log has been modified and do you want to save the changes. You would click NO and the log is saved to as it was before you made the change. In your situation you would need to import the N1MM contest log again without having it set the labels to Y. But that might be easier than setting dates, etc.

When I import a contest log or do other stuff to my log like LoTW stuff I always go to FILE>SAVE AS and right click my dxl file and send it to a USB thumb drive. Then if I mess up my contest import I can always go back to where I was before by reloading my saved .dxl file rather than using the new modified .dxl file that I made a mistake to.

First of all you need to select these QSOs. I assume that these are between 2 dates.

So go to file>preferences>QSO and be sure  that in QSO Date you have "Range". This allows you to select QSOs between 2 dates. Save and exit

Then press F8 and write the 1st date. Enter and write the 2nd date

Now you have selected the QSOs you want to clear label flags.

Go to QSO window QSLs>Clear QSL Label flag

You will have been asked if you want the filter, you need to say yes.

That's it
