Maybe not the best way to do it but when I have that situation I go to
the QSO's that I want to print and place a note in the NOTES FOR THIS
QSO such as Rcvd from BURO 1/2/23. You only need to type this once,
then use CTL+C to copy the note to the rest of the QSL's you want to
print. So what you are doing is to find the QSL's to print (one by
one), In the label box place Y, place BURO in the method box, the do
the CTL+C to put your note in the NOTES FOR THIS QSO box. Then do a F8
search for this note you made (in this example Rcvd from BURO 1/2/23).
The search will only find the QSO's you marked as Rcvd from BURO
1/2/23 and you can now print only those QSL's in question. You also
have a notation of when and how you received the incoming QSL that you
did not have before.

Zoran,
Thanks for the suggestions. I confirmed Label and Cnfm boxes were
checked "Y" and entered the QSL Date. I was able to search for the
QSL Date, retrieve the data and print the labels.
