[Dxbase] Re: Strange LoTW QSL behavior

I have some more information concerning this mystery.
Of course I backed up my databases, so I went back and looked at the DB a couple of weeks later. The entire day of Jan 28 had NONE for LoTW QSLs, while days before and after were fine (LoTW were flagged). Remember that my current DB has maybe 20% or 30% of the QSOs on that one particular date flagged as LoTW. I tried a repair and then a compact on the DB and looked at it again. Every single QSO on that date now had the LoTW flagged, which they should have been. I then looked at a subsequent backup. That backup had some flagged and some not flagged. A repair and compact didn't have any noticeable effect. 
I am now worried. What other log information is subject to "change"?

When you do this, there is a window that asks if you want to flag those QSOs as being sent to the LoTW. Back in January, I created an ADIF file for a 10 day period between January 20 and 30 and checked that I wanted those QSOs flagged. It had over 700 QSOs in it that I submitted to LoTW. However, only about 60% of those QSOs got flagged as being submitted. As I scan through the log, some of which took place during the CQWW 160M contest, I see some QSOs on Jan 28 being flagged and others not. Not so for the contest QSOs on Jan 29. All of them are flagged. I can't seem to correlate anything as to why certain QSOs were flagged and others not. Has anyone seen such behavior before?
