Rod,

The short answer is "ignore" it.  Unfortunately, there are a number of 
programs out there that violate ADIF standards by putting so-called "State" 
info into the ADIF field that is designated for USA states.  As a result, 
you can get these warning messages because DXbase will not allow non-us 
state info into the DXbase State field.  Additionally, a lot of folks 
mis-spell their county info and once again, DXbase will not allow 
mis-spelled county names into its database.

Regards,
Jack
