[WriteLog] Date Change

[Gary AL9A]

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.
