Jim,
I'd import the data into a real database & manipulate the
data from there.
I import my CT data into my logs, which I keep in a dBase IV
(soon to be Visual dBase 5.5) system I half wrote (I still
have to write the other half). I can then extract the data
I want for whatever stations I need to send cards to, sort,
and then print the labels using a report format to print
multiple QSO's on a lablel. It's fairly easy & straight
forward -- it's harder to type & explain than to do.
CT's a very nice program for contests, but for manipulating
mailing lables, it's a very nice program for contests. This
is not a knock by any means! But maybe we expect too much
from the software.
IMHO. I could be wrong.
73, ron wn3vaw

Just to be a little more clear...
I have a perfectly good logging program (DX4WIN) which prints labels
in the desired format. I can even print QSLs from the original
contest log (Writelog). But I want to use QSL9 because of 2 features:
1. Only makes labels for stations worked on a new band or mode. I
can already use DX4WIN (or Writelog for that matter) to generate
labels for ALL the QSOs, but that's NOT what I want.
2. Multiple QSOs on a single label. Again, I can already generate
labels that are one per QSO, using either DX4WIN or Writelog.
So I want to take the .LAB file I created using QSL9 (this is the 3rd
log, so many stations have already been worked and QSLed) and print it
on Avery 5160 labels. Ken said to try the "-THREEUP" switch but that
didn't do anything different using the latest QSL9 from the web site.
