Hi - I am pretty familiar with DB functionality - and have my local logs within my logging program as well as in MS Access. I use Access for running queries and updating fields in records, which are functions the logging program can't perform.

Anyway I have a few questions regarding how to best automate confirming QSOs already in the eQSL DB:
1) Is there a way I can download only unconfirmed records?

2) If I upload records - and those records match with records already stored at eQSL marked as "unconfirmed" - does the eQSL system update those records to "confirmed" status?

3) When I upload records - is there a way I can include a standard greeting such as "Thanks Joe - FB QSO" etc? Perhaps a greeting field is included in the standard ADIF field schema which eQSL can import into the record?


Thanks very much
Duane

Hi Duane,




Yes, you can build a custom URL , such as :

http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/DownloadInBox.cfm?UserName=N1BBR&Password=yourpassword&RcvdSince=20000101&UnconfirmedOnly=1

all the parameters are detailed here : http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/programming.cfm




Yes, and it's the main interest of uploading ALL your logs, it confirms automatically what is in your inbox/archive, then, you just have to reject a few anomalies





The ADIF tag COMMENT is used for private comments about the QSO. We found out a decade ago that people did NOT want those comments disclosed on their cards! The ADIF tag QSLMSG is designed to be used for QSL Card Comments. That is the one we display on the eQSL card.
