[WriteLog] Writelog Logging Problems

[Pat Thurman, K7KR]

I had something very similar happen as well.   Writelog kept asking if 
it should 'restore the network connection' each and every time I tried 
to enter a QSO.  Of course, I kept replying no, as I didn't have a 
network installation of WL, although I am using a peer to peer setup 
with 5 pc's.  Never could figure out what caused the problem, although I 
suspect it was because I had investigated the "Setup/Register to accept 
network connections..." choice.  I distinctly remember canceling out of 
the operation, however, it was only afterwards that the log began to 
behave strangely.

Fortunately, I exported the log via ADIF, created a new log, then 
imported the old one and then saved it out as a regular .wl log. 
 Nothing appeared to be missing, and it works fine now with no further 
prompting...  Might be worth following this procedure as soon as you 
find it asking to restore a non-existing network connection...

Good luck...
