if he is using Adif Master, that is much better then just a text
editor for most.
its quite easy to edit a text file and miss the character count,
which will cause errors.

ADIF files are text files. You can edit them with any text

To edit a text file whose filename does not end in .txt,
start Notepad, use the File > Open menu item in Notepad, then
near the bottom to the right of the filename, in the box that
says "Text Documents (*.txt)", click on the down arrow at the
right-hand end of the box and change it to "All Files (*.*)",
then find the file and open it. When saving the file using the
File > Save As menu item, in the box immediately below the
file name called "Save as type:", make the same change to
prevent Notepad from tacking an extraneous .txt onto the
filename.

To attach the contents of a small text file to a message
here, simply open the file in Notepad, select the part you want
to attach, and copy and paste it into the text of the message.

Well, isn't this an adventure, grin.? I've made suggested
changes to this single log entry.

First, I tried to make the changes in the error report
and upload that, but it is a text file, not ADIF.
?
Second, I loaded the ADIF file into ADIF Master, searched
for the entry for KR1STA and saved that single entry into a
new ADIF file, and made changes there and tried to import
the ADIF into DXKeeper.? The result was an error text file.?
Error file says:? "no valid ADIF records found"? I rechecked
the ADIF Master entry and all seemed OK, and the ADIF check
routine in ADIF Master did not find an error.

I was going to attach the ADIF file for the single entry
but I don't find a way to link files here, and I don't know
how to convert it to a text file.
?
Looking for help.

Thanks
