Gary and Jim,
You can change the date with a text editor such as Notepad, but you will
have to change both the Cabrillo file and any exported adi file that may
have been created. This would be necessary if you intend to upload the adi
file to another general logger and/or LOTW. However, changing the dates
with Notepad still leaves the wrong dates in the source WL file. The date
errors can be fixed directly from within WL and then you can export a new
Cabrillo and new adi file with the corrected dates.
To do this from within WL just start up your CQ WW RTTY log. Do a left
click on the first record in the log with the wrong date to highlight it.
Then, on the right hand side of the log records window, click and drag on
the slider box in the vertical bar until you reach the last record in the
log. Hold the Shift key and left click on the last record. This highlights
all the log records with the wrong date from first to last. Now left click
on the DATE field on one of the highlighted records. A little box will open
with the hour and minute time numbers, then the year-month-day numbers.
There are two rows of up and down pointing arrow boxes below each field.
These are used to change any field number up or down. In the last column,
the day number, click on the down arrow once to decrement the date number
from 28 to 27. Now click on OK and a box will pop open that asks "Apply the
same time shift to the other selected QSOs?". Click on Yes and all the
dates on all the highlighted records will be changed to the new value.
Once the changes are made save the WL log and then Export your Cabrillo and
adi files again with the correct dates.

I got on for several hours on the 27th for CQWWRTTY. The computer had
the wrong date (28th) so when I created the cabrillo log the sponser and
lotw gave me error. What is a quick way to change the date in my writelog
log to the 27th without going in and change each individual entry ? Thanks
Gary
