[DXBase] DXCC report generation puzzle....

Yes I agree it is selecting the 17 m phone QSO, I didn't see it.
So what you are doing is likely correct...it just surprises me that I can't
get it to simultaneously select my 160 phone and cw Q with FO0AAA. But I
probably should not be surprised as when I review the DXCC rules I find that
the 5BDXCC award, which is endorsable for additional bands (like 160) is NOT
endorsable by mode.
I am so intent on working band/modes, yet there is no actual DXCC award for
band/modes. There is the DXCC Challenge, but again it does not distinguish
by mode.
I would have though that checking off everything would produce the sum of
each individually, but this is not the case. In order to produce a list of
all my band/modes I would have to run the report 3 times (with all bands
selected, then I would have to run it once with phone, once with cw and once
with rtty) and then merge the reports into a combined report.
Is this correct?

I ran DXCC award using your database. I placed a check in Mixed, Phone, CW,
and 160. When I run this, DXbase selects a 17m phone QSO for Clipperton,
and it also selects a 160M cw QSO for Clipperton. I don't see any problem.
Regards,
Jack
