I have been trying for sometime to download my logs to ADIF. I have too many Qs to download them at once. I change the date to be sure it is not too big.
I click on the "download to ADIF" (or whatever it says at the bottom of that page).
After a bit of time I get a screen sayin that windows could not open this page.
I have done this many times before and iy always worked.
What am I doing wrong?

Tom,
Are you trying to Download your Archive as an ADIF file to your log, or are you trying to Upload your ADIF file from your log to eQSL? Those are two separate and different actions.

Yes, I am trying to download my e-QSL files to an ADIF file to use it on another application. I have done this quite a few times before but cannot do it now. I get a message saying that Internet Explorer cannot open the page.
I have tried disabling my Anti Virus program and firewall... still nada.
Suggestions?

Tom,
Please tell us exactly where, or on which page you get the error. It may not matter, but which version of IE are you using?

Andy,
I am using Windows 7.I have tried IE7, IE8, and IE9.
This occurs on every page where ther is a "button" that says to click on it to download file to ADIF, whether it be archive, inbox etc.
It is not really on "a" page, buty where it goes after that. Always says IE cannot open it.
Tom

Humm ....

Here are a few IE settings to try.

1. Make eqsl.cc a trusted site
2. Try temporarily lowering the security settings on the browser.
3. Temporarily allow all pop-ups in case they are disabled.

Perhaps someone on this list can let us know if they have had the same problems running Windows 7.1 and IE.

I suspect Google Chrome will work as well.

After thinking a little bit, I cannot be sure if I have tried to download since I got this new computer and Windows 7.
I very well may have been using the old one and Windows XP Pro.
May have to bring that one back out and see what happens with IE on it.
73 everyone... thanks, Tom K5IID

Your issue might also be the Windows firewall. Check the firewall log for any block messages.
