I don't see what is so wrong with asking a simple question. The answer to it could have been sure you can do that or no, you can't. Instead I get answers like this. I thought we lived in an era where we could do our own things and ask simple questions?
I don't' think it was a cheap shot at DXBase or any other logging program. I just asked if it was possible. I guess questions are not allowed here. I am done. You all can flame all you want! I will no longer answer.

Your simple question would have been fine until you had to add the sarcasm about "why you have a logging program". Pretty cheap shot since the ARRL hasn't even assigned the rules/prefixes/designations yet. In any case, why don't you just log the darn contacts and put a note in the comments section so you can later make the change to the prefix field once the refdata entries are assigned.
