OK, I figured out how to print the labels I needed by selecting a range of
all bureau cards labels to print after doing a search for just the bureau
labels. (Since this was my first bureau batch (over 9,000 QSO's). Yes, I
could have searched the QSL date. TNX.
But, my biggest problem NOW as a QSL Manager is that when I work on bureau
cards here, I often see a note like 2nd or 3rd or even 4th request.
When I see this while processing usually slews of bureau cards, and I show
that I have already sent a bureau card, I have in the past often just hit
the F2 key thinking I was marking the QSO for ANOTHER bureau QSL card. I
usually just leave them marked until I am ready to print bureau cards, and
I would think that this would be a normal function to keep them in bureau
order for when you send them out. Well, apparently for all these years, this
has NOT been happening because it seems that when you hit the F2 key (set up
for mark for printing a label, buro, mark confirmed, set QSL date for today)
it just IGNORES the request and does NOT set the print flag to Y. No
warning. So, all these years, I have NOT been creating these 2nd and 3rd etc
request cards for the bureau (but I thought I was). However, I can do this
same function for direct or other methods (even bureau) that I mark for
sequential print and it WILL set the print flag OK. But it will not if I do
not select for sequential print. This is not useful for me since I process
bureau cards all at the same time and I NEVER want to do a sequential print
for bureau cards (1st request or reprints) since it would then have to be
manually sorted!! I also tried other combinations of settings for the F2
key with the same result. Yes, I can do a separate process by searching the
QSL date, or other searches. But I don't really see why you could not just
set up the F2 key to change bureau method (or any other methods) QSL's to be
able to reprint, reconfirm. Or, perhaps this is a program glitch?
I would think that in any program, if you create a process that allows you
to ask to do something (like set the print flag), then it should do it, or
else give back a warning message that says no you cannot do that.
See ya' in the Pileups!

You can search for the printed QSOs (for example you can write the QSL
date and maybe a combined search as Qsl Methos=buro) and then go to
QSLsSet QSL flag and also make a Clear QSL date for these QSOs. Ypu
can print them all again.
Another way is to set the F2 to make this job: FilepreferencesF2 key.
There make the F2 to Mark for printing a Label and not mark QSO as
confirmed. Save and exit and then you manually find the qsos and press F2.
I am not sure if the QSL date must be cleared to print the QSOs or not.
Also have in mind that if you want to search for QSOs never printed you must
write 01/01/1901 as a QSL date. For example you can search for QSOs you have
received a card via buro and you have not sent a qsl. Press F8 and write
Method=buro, Cnfm=y and QSL date=01/01/1901. That's it!!
