Thank you Terry,
I can now see the file you sent me. Do I need it? Now that my SOTA refs are downloaded?
Thanks for your assistance.

OK thanks - I assumed it was a datafile being updated.. and it will come thru on the next update anyway - just don't want to upset my table layouts right now.

One last question... I have it all the way I want and pretty confident on my work flow now but where does the country field come from? It seem to be missing on this listing.

The country name in the SOTA and IOTA awards comes from the SOTA summit list and IOTA list that we download from their sites.

There are often errors in those files which cause us heartache but it's all they provide.

Other awards like DCI are maintained by our awards team and of course DXCC is derived from standard ADIF information

Terry,
on this subject again, the call to VK2BYF now allows me to select the parks correctly.
But now whenever I work VK2BYF (he's back in AUS mainland) he always comes up Lord Howe Island/55 and I need to change the Country and ITU.
Where does this info get pulled from and how do I correct it?
He is correctly listed in QRZ as Australia/59
Alan
PS I loaded that revised version you sent me but that makes no difference.

The location is coming from whatever you have selected in Program config/info providers/configuration for real time logging.

I have QRZ set there. His QRZ page (https://www.qrz.com/db/VK2BYF) says nothing about Lord Howe Island and doesn't appear to have and ITU set. If I use NetLogger to lookup him (also via QRZ) he comes up AUSTRALIA,
HamQTH says Australia /59
So I switched it over to HamQTH as primary source - (exit Log4OM and re-start just in case) - enter the callsign and it comes up Lord Howe.
If you read my message again I referred you to this config tab, I beleive that you will find the info is coming from Clublog or the way you have this set up

OK well if I choose External Provider (QRZ) for all possibilities and then refresh, I still get Lord Howe
