YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY
I strongly suggest you test this only AFTER saving a backup copy of your databases.

But I've been testing this for a month and not a single hiccup.
I've put Non DXB Import into the Programs Menu list.
After downloading my LoTWReport.adi
WITH DXBASE LOADED AND RUNNING.

I can start the import module and import my LoTW qsl's.

I've seen NO problems.
I originally tested it just to see what would happen and was surprised to see that it had 
no effect on my files.
I find I CAN'T run ACCESS MAINTAINER while I have a database open.
It will compact the other log files, but NOT the log file I have open.


You DO have to INITIALIZE after the import for the reports to include any added qsls.

I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 on a Athlon 3200 machine with lot's of hard drive space.

Again....Test this before trusting it....Your machine may not like it....
