I followed your instructions how ever when click on VK9DWX Still shows it as VK Australia OC in the log VK9Z does appear under the DXCC column.

Do I need to close out the program and re start or what?

I believe VK9/W is the DXCC prefix for Willis. Why VK9Z instead of VK9W ?

Oh, sri. I've forgotten to mention one more think: Normally you have to correct the dxcc database before you log a contact. When you have logged it already, select the entry in the log list and go to Menu-->QSO-->Edit. Make no changes, just press 'Save'. At this point the country of the affected QSO will be recalculated. Repeat the steps with other QSOs.

I've named Willis VK9Z! You can name it whatever you want. But it is very important to know, that the whole dxcc computation is based on the given main prefix. If you have logged 17.000 QSOs, be very careful with these kind of changes. There are special tools available for this. Read the provided documentation.
