[Dxbase] Import

Did you check to see if LOTW actually had the states that you were looking
for in their file? Maybe N1MM put the states in the wrong location or
something.

Subject: [Dxbase] Import
All,
I recently exported records from two contests that I did in N1MM to ADIF,
and then imported them into DXB. The first import (for the ARRL 10 Meter
contest) worked fine. By saying Fine, I mean all the data was transferred
into the correct fields in DXB. However, when I imported the records for the
ARRL 160 contest, the "State" information didn't transfer - Except for the
two records where I worked Alaska (AK) and Hawaii (HI). For those two
records, the State information transferred correctly into DXB. The two ADIF
files are very similar but there are some small differences. I used a text
editor to make the data in the 160 ADIF file match that of the 10M ADIF.
That didn't help and the results were the same, still no transfer of the
State information except for those two off-shore contacts.
Any suggestions as to what may be the problem? It seems to be in the Import
program as I can see in the examples window that the State information
doesn't appear yet when I run the Import program for the other data from the
10 M contest, it does. ??? I know from the documentation that the Import
program follows some logic to make sure the new records are formatted
correctly, etc. but the State information is being discarded or not created
even though it appears correct when looking at the ADIF source data. i.e.,
the <SECTION 2:ID> looks good.
Hope this makes sense. If anyone wants to look at the data, I can send the
files (or parts) when I get home.
Thanks and 73, Rod
