With all due respect, you're asking for problems if you use CT to log
and then try to import/merge log into Writelog. If you use the Writelog
networking feature, you will not have problems with dupes or, at least,
they will be marked as such in the running log and not counted for
credit.

NOTE: I have all the original logs and backed up in case of
any questions or problems.
I hope this wasn't out of range for this reflector and
since Writelog was involved here and may be of help
to someone else if this problem comes up again. I am now trying to get
together here with a couple of others and network to do testing on what
happened above. Will report any results that I get.
Was a real learning experience for me as am not a
computer software/spreadsheet guru. I think it was
a great learning challenge and this is part
of what the ham radio adventure is all about.
Now to the next adventure!!!
Tnx agn all,
