Great! May I suggest that all the deleted data be available in an expoted file so we can import it if we wish?? That should seldom change and give us the opportunity to import the old stuff if we want it.

References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I like the qsl manager database. Jim knows that i try to correct it where it is wrong and if anyone did this in every release of cty file, the database would be more accurate. The only problem i have is this.... i send a qsl to xxxxx qsl manager. dx4win changes this manager in a next release with the yyyyy manager I would like to know where i have sent my qsl because now i loose the information where i have sent my card (for the direct cards i keep a paper). I look the managers for new ones very carefully ofcourse but i don't think we are all so carefully and double check the contest qsos for example. After a contest it is usual for me to import the adif file from writelog to dx4win and when i send cards to buro, check the labels for the unconfirmed bands and modes and print. But i don't look so carefully all the cards. So the most important is the accurate infos. But if the infos are accurate, i don't care if they are old... The problem with the old infos is that usually are not ok.... So we must try harder to remove the innaccurate infos and not the old ones.
