George, What you quoted is correct. There is logic in the ADIF import module of DXbase that maps ARRL section to its appropriate US State. I just tested an old Field Day ADIF file and everything appears to be working fine. If the value for the ARRL_SECT entry in your .ADI file is a valid ARRL Section, or if the value is a valid State abbrev, then it should map to the DXbase US State Field. I wonder if you are using the latest import utility from the download section of our web? If so, then if you want to email me your .adi file, I'll take a look. You can send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
