[Dxbase] DXBase and LoTW QSL at Odds

To all:

I just downloaded ALL of my own qsos that are on the LoTW
server (standard adi file) .. then, I deleted the following
from the "top" of the saved adi file:



ARRL Logbook of the World Status Report
Generated at 2007-12-10 14:32:11
for wa6axe
Query:

<PROGRAMID:4>LoTW



If we don't delete the above lines, the Non-DXB Import thinks
that it "is" a LoTW Import - vice a Standard ADI Import..

I then IMPORTED my adi file into a Virgin database and made
a quick report that tells me which QSOs are in my current
logbook.mdb file - as compared to the mdb file I made from
the LoTW adi file download..

It worked out very nicely..
