I have been so busy lately, Dave, and just haven't kept up with all the
reflector postings.... this will probably not be the last self-inflicted
problem I encounter. Thanks for your patience,which appears to be endless.

PS... just nailed FT5GA on 20M SSB.... another all-time new one ... and a
milestone #300... woo-hoo !!

I wanted to avoid deleting the QSO, but that was certainly one way out.

Several DXCC database versions ago, we changed a number of DXCC entity
prefixes in order to line up with those used by the ARRL. There was no
requirement that we do this, as the only thing that matters is the DXCC
entity codes, but many users found it confusing for DXLab applications to
use entity prefixes different than those used by the ARRL DXCC desk. So we
bit the bullet and made the changes. After updating to the updated DXCC
database, the change in entity prefixes meant that users must perform a
Recompute operation on their log file(s). Evidently, you hadn't done that,
which was why DXKeeper flagged your UN QSO as invalid.

Having DXKeeper determine that a new DXCC database has been installed and
that the new version requires a Recompute operation so that the user can
be
informed is "on the list".

Hi, Dave.... I was fiddling before seeing your answer below, and decided
to
try deleting the QSO from the log, then clearing the QUEUE, then
re-entering
the QSO. That worked. (I had previously tried changing the entity, the
code, the prefix... and then changing it back. None of those allowed me
to
clear the QUE, and DXCC on the log QSO's tab just kept on blinking red. )
I
did a Recompute and everything seems fine now... except for a gap in the
Q#
sequence.... no big deal as far as I can see.

So now the problem seems solved for my log, but I can't say I learned why
it
happened. One other thing..... UN7QF was red in SC, but I had UN Verified
on that band and mode. I got it into the Capture screen by clicking on
the
SC entry.

Having a QSL Queue entry for an invalid QSO is unexpected. Did you
direct
DXKeeper to put UN7QF in the QSL Queue?

On the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab, please select your UN7QF QSO in the
Log
Page Display. In the QSL panel, set the entity selector to something
other
than Kazakhstan, and then set it back to Kazakhstan. Can you now save
this
QSO without an error being flagged?

If so, then clear the QSL Queue and perform a Recompute.

If no, then please place your log file in a zip archive, attach it to an
email message, and send it to me at aa6yq@... so I can see
what's
going on.

Thanks...

73,

Dvae, AA6YQ

Dave:

Database 2.2.7 is installed. Cannot do Recompute because I cannot clear
the
QSL Que of its only content: UN7QF (in red).

Jerry, please

1. verify that you have DXCC database 2.2.7 installed (Config window,
General tab, "Database Info" button at bottom); if not, direct DXView
to
install it

2. on the Main window's "Check Progress" tab, click the Recompute
button
along the bottom

If this doesn't eliminate the problem, please let me know...

73,

Dave, AA6YQ

I just worked UN7QF on 20M and had trouble getting the entry into
DXKeeper.
I get a red flashing DXCC... although the entry is UN, the code is
130,
and
the entity is Kazakhstan.... same as appears in DXView and
Spotcollector.
The tooltip says I should make a correction to the prefix. Any ideas
what
I'm missing?
