[Dx4win] Copy DXL file
I remember reading that you can't copy some files between the 9.03 and 8.05, but can I copy my DXL file from ver. 9.03 to ver. 8.05 on another computer or is that a no-no, with the updated 9.03?

[Dx4win] Can I changing spacing?
Is there any way I can permanently resize some of the headers/spacing in the Logbook and DX spots windows? That way, I wouldn't have to change them every time I have to reopen DX4WIN. For example, in the Logbook, I only need one, maybe two spaces in the Conf & LCnf columns for the "Y", and what prefix is nine characters wide, etc., etc...

[Dx4win] Ver. 9 quit
After going to help - update for ver 9.02, DX4WIN froze. I cannot start it, even going into the main file and trying all the .exe files. However, it does state that I can start to install the program, but since it was already working, that seems redundant. I got a note from Win 10 saying that C:\Amateur Radio\dx4w901\dx4win.exe - Windows cannot access the specified device path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the file. I am the administrator for the computer and I assume I am still "expert" in DX4WIN. Basically ver. 9.01 seems to have been working properly since the initial download. Any ideas?

[Dx4win] Country Window Question
I have been using DX4WIN since Ver. 1.10, but just recently decided to print labels since I started chasing the ARRL DXCC Challenge Award. In the Country Window, if there is a W under a band/mode, I can double click on it to see who and how many QSO's I've had on that band/mode. After I choose a station the send a QSL and print out the label, the W becomes a M. If I now double click on that band/mode M, the only call that appears is the call of the station I sent to for a card. Is there some setting that I missed to keep all the calls showing? If yes, please tell me how to change my present settings.

[Dx4win] HELP REPORTS DXCC
Help - I have never used the DX4WIN SUBMISSION feature and probably will never use it. However, I tried to update my DXCC summary last night and totally messed up. I had under MIXED - 1 country CONFIRMED, nothing under submitted, 340 under CHECKED, 341 under TOTAL, and 341 under TOTAL CONFIRMED. I wanted to change my CONFIRMED to 0 and my CHECKED to 341. I am not sure what I did, but I now show 340 CONFIRMED, 1 CHECKED with TOTAL TOTAL CONFIRMED still where they should be at 341. How do I get them where they belong? I still need to change PHO, CW DIG by 1 country. I have done this before somehow, but I can't remember how I did it and I can't find anything in the User's Guide to help me. If I use F5 in my Sorted by date window, I put C in all three columns, hit the return, save it and nothing. Tried going to File and hit save and nothing happens. You would think after using this since Ver. 3 to 8.05, I would have learned something about this program, but !! Thanks in advance.

[Dx4win] Possible problem
I have imported LoTW QSO's from ARRL about 8 to 10 times since 3/13/2011. After I import, I hit F8 and type LoTW or Import into the Notes for this QSO and hold the right arrow at the top window to go through them to see if there are any errors, etc. It always stops at 3/13/2011 with 8P9NX. If I then hit Add real Time, then the escape key, I can then look at the QSO's that follow 8P9NX and it shows all the QSO's I've logged and the LoTW worked/confirmed contacts following 8P9NX. Why do the LoTW contacts stop at 3/13/2011 with 8P9NX. I do realize that 8P9NX has nothing to do with this anomaly, but that's just where it stops.

[Dx4win] Beam heading problem
I just figured out why I get false beam headings occasionally. There doesn't seem to be anything in my manual about this. If you look at the beam heading for a station that is spotted on 6 meters and there are grid squares in the Remarks of the spot AND the last grid square is that of the spotter rather than the station spotted, the beam heading is then to the direction of the spotter. Is there a way to not have the grid square be the determining factor for giving a beam heading? I would guess the program uses prefixes for spots that don't show grid squares.

[Dx4win] DX4Windows/column spacing
(1) Is there a way to lock the column widths in the window Same Call? I have made the box the same size as my Country Zone boxes and have tried to shorten the Time, Band Mode columns which allows me to see the 3 QSL confirmation columns. (With the addition of all the new lines in the QSO window, I lose a lot of space if I use F5 to show confirmations). This works great until I have to close DX4WIN. Upon opening it again, all the spacing is back to square one. I have checked and unchecked File - Preferences - Screen Leave all windows in original position and that does nothing. (2) Is there a procedure to add the different windows so that the last added are always on top?

[Dx4win] 8.03 Problem
I just downloaded 8.03 to replace 7.07. I am having a small problem. When trying to use the CW keyboard, hitting any key or macro, keys the rig with a solid carrier/tone. The only way to turn it off is to shut down my K3 or go into the CW menu, hit Settings, then Tune, then Off. Needless to say I didn't have that problem with 7.07. All settings are the same. The only thing I did differently was to put 8.03 into C:\Amateur Radio\dx4w803 instead of C:\dx4w803. Before 7.07, all my DX4WIN versions were in the Amateur Radio\ folder, but directions said to put 7.07 in C:\. I am sure there was a reason for this. I have loaded 8.03 into C:\ and also it is still in C:\ Amateur Radio\dx4w803. Can I just copy all the files from C:\ Amateur Radio\dx4w803 into C:\dx4w803 or must I import all the stuff into it from 7.07? I also attempted to start LPT Driver so that when I use my Top Ten Devices, that it will work. I right clicked on the file and then hit enter but I don't think it did anything. When I rebooted, a message came up telling me to use that LPT file. I said okay and it disappeared. God knows if I have it working. Anybody know how I can tell if it is indeed working? I did not get the error code upon starting the program(still using XP Prof), so did not try that Microsoft DLL thing. I assume that I don't have to worry about that. Not being a good computer operator, the instructions from Paul on that DLL thing about sending it to the browser etc. made no sense to me at all.
