Jeff,
Finally had a chance to sit down and try a time shift on an old log. You
are correct! If you shift the minutes by some value on a range of selected
and then apply that change to all the records WriteLog will shift all the
records by the new increment, keeping the relative time differences between
the affected records. If the time shift causes one or more records to
increment to a time after midnight the date will change too. Really a nifty
feature to bale out a hosed up log with minimal effort.

hi Gary - It's been a long time since I have needed to and I don't writelog
in front of me, but I recall a few years ago needing to adjust the log by
several minutes due to a clock problem, and was delighted to discover that
writelog would apply the offset to the whole log rather than blindly
searching and replacing. It did all the time and date math correctly. Maybe
someone who has writelog in front of them can verify this... 73 jeff

It should be noted that there are probably some limits to the built in WL
ability to do mass changes to the DATE field data, particularly the time
fields. As John K8AJS indicates below, you can readily change the hour of
clock time for a given segment of records in the log. However, I would be
very careful in applying group changes to the minutes field. I suspect
that you could easily end up with all the minute times of a given
highlighted range being changed so that a large number of records all have
the same minute time stamp! This is less than desirable! Prior to
undertaking such a change be sure to make a backup copy of your .wl file
so
that if things run amok you can revert back to where you started from with
minimal problems.

It is definitely possible to change all of the dates inside Writelog
(don't ask me how I know this). I am not sure if you can change the
times
as a group selection. It is best to make a copy of your log before
attempting any alterations.
It’s absolutely possible to change the times in a group of QSOs inside
Writelog very easily, using the method described by Gary. I had to do this
on a number of QSOs in CQ WW RTTY, adjusting an entire group by one hour,
due to a foul-up in my Windows clock.
