+ A QSO's Continent item can be set in several ways, depending upon how you had DXKeeper configured at the time: by your directly specifying it, from a callbook lookup, from an override, or from a previously-logged QSO with the same callsign. + Did you originally log the QSO with DXKeeper in 2014?

I did a clean up duplicate files on my DXLab computer and removed a lot of the DX Lab files.. I reinstalled the DXLab Suite and then
did a update, but not every thing has come back.
When I run a Recompute Actions report -- All my qso are listed as the "Broken: ARRL Section ___ is inconsistent with DXCC Entity K and
State ___ and County ___,______ . I checked and all the US States have been changed as well as the County..
It appears Call, Date, band. Mode, DXCC ID (all 291) DXCC (All United States.
I having another problem, but I will submit it after I get this resolved..
Thanks Dan KX7DX

I was looking at my WAC from 1987. And from there was wondering if I was close to 5B WAC, after all these years?
I followed the suggestions in this post.
DxKeeper Check Progress..........Then Configuration/Awards/I checked: Include eQSL.............(and all the DXCC Bands and Modes are checked)
Then saw your scripts button at the bottom of the Check Progress page and double clicked on 5BWAC.
From there, 10M, 15M, and 20M look fine.
But 40M has a W1AW/4 RTTY CONTACT back in 2014 as "EU"
+ Correct the erroneous Continent item specified in this logged QSO.
80M has a FT8 CONTACT back in 2017 XE2YWB as AS
+ Correct the erroneous Continent item specified in this logged QSO.
TG9ANF FT8 CONTACT back in 2018 as "EU"
+ Correct the erroneous Continent item specified in this logged QSO.
So was wondering if I missed part of the procedure?
+ All progress reports generated by DXKeeper are dependent on the accuracy of the information logged in each QSO. After you correct the errors you report above, try running the 5BWAC script again.

Yes, "Confirmed" is cards (or LotW credits) you have received.
Verified is credits that have been awarded by ARRL based on a
DXCC (or WAS, VUCC, etc. as applicable) application.

What I call the "summery" sections are the bottom rows of the

Dave's DXKeeper manual (Logging New QSOs with the Capture window) says:
If the first letter of the callsign you enter is an exclamation point, DXKeeper assumes that you are logging a CQ, an unsuccessful call, a test, or some other
transmission that you wish to record but does not represent a QSO. Such log
entries are not assigned a DXCC prefix, do not initiate a Callbook database
lookup, and are not included in award tracking statistics.
+ Exactly right. Click the Capture window's Begin button when you start calling CQ; when you stop calling CQ, click the Capture window's End button
and log the CQ. When calling a station, initially place a ! in front of the callsign
of the station you're calling (in the Capture window's Callsign box), and click the
Begin button. If the station responds, remove the !. If not, log the unsuccessful
call.
