 Hi Bob,
Thanks for the QSO!
And welcome to N1MM+ world. A great program worth every penny, though I've over the years I've suggested a number of what I think are very good ideas to have only one accepted and several others to get snarky replies in return.
Anyway, you don't need a dupe sheet for Field Day. You can upload you Cabrillo log, and when using the web I believe you check off all the other bonus point information (I haven't uploaded my logs yet).
I think the ARRL's "dupe sheet" is a left over from the old days of paper logs, and that there is room for house cleaning in those rules.

Of course, I speak of house cleaning from experience. The 2020 Ohio QSO Party will be the first year we won't accept logs on 3.5" IBM formatted floppy disks   :-)

Didn't get started until after 8PM due to attending a Grad Party. Hada fun time operating FT4. WOW! It was crowded!!
Second time using N1MM+ in a "Contest" and really enjoyed the
operating
features and capabilities. Was able to configure the keyboard to simulate
how I used CT for decades and its template. Very nice.

After-Contest was a challenge. Since I couldn't easily figure out how to
integrate WSJTX with it in time for FD, I ran FT8/4 in its native program.
Then, I imported it into N1MM+ to combine the activities. Then, I rescored
the result and all turned out OK with one exception - No Dupe Sheet????

FD only needs a Dupe Sheet for submission. N1MM+ appears to provide an
on-screen Dupe Window on a per Band and per Mode basis. But, there are no
instructions on how to get a print-out of them. GEEZ! Even old CT from
over 20 years ago would easily give a Dupe Sheet printout!!! If anyone
has a clue on how to get one from N1MM+, please let me know. TNX!!!
