How do I skim my entire log and populate the Grid Squares, I've tried a few ways and not had much joy. Probably something really simple that I am missing

I think what the gentleman is asking for is:

How does he update his entire log with grid squares, a number of which had no grid info for the QSOs?

If that is so then QSO Archive manager - Select the QSO's without locators (search parameters grid square equal to and leave the right hand field empty) this will search all grid square fields which are empty!

Select all of the QSO's and click the "Update" button

If there are a lot to be updated it will take some time so be patient!

It can only be updatet if you are an xml subscriber at qrz.com (payed) and qrz.com provides the locator in it´s database and/or if you using hamqth.com (free) for lookup. If there is no locator in the databases L4O will not find one and can´t update it.

Another problem when using online databases ... a lot of the locators in the databeses are wrong. Some hams don´t updating the data when changing QTH. I see it once a week if i got my HRDlog.net LotW report. Many locators will be changed in the hrdlog.net log if they are updating from the LotW ..... :( :(
