[DXBase] Exporting

Thanks Jack.
Close but no cigar.
The only downside that I see so far is that the list (and the resulting
.htm) drops the colon in the time. For what I'm trying to do this probably
doesn't matter.
What I'm trying to do is figure out a way of making sure that any worked
but unconfirmed country has had a QSL sent without sending more than
necessary.
For instance let's say I've worked five P5 stations and sent a card to
4L4FN/P5 (this part is true) but haven't received a card back.
If I use the wizard and set up a configuration file to show unconfirmed
QSOs where no QSL has been sent, then the wizard will find the other four
QSOs and report them. In this case, I have checked the online log and know
I'm in it so unless his QSL manager doesn't do a good job I will be assured
of receiving a card (if he ever get a license). Therefore, I'm not
interested in sending cards for the other QSOs.
This one I can remember, so it's a hypothetical. But if it's for G
stations on 80 meters, I may have already sent one half-dozen cards and
there are another dozen not sent. The wizard is no help with this so I was
thinking about a way to do some further logical sorting in Excel. I
haven't actually worked on this because I needed a way to get the data in
there first before worrying about it.
Ideas?
