John - Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this didn't work either. We probably only have a few hundred patrons who use ILL so we are thinking about keying them, unless someone else has any suggestions.

We did some testing (I forget how) and realized this. If I'm interpreting my sketcy notes correctly, here's what it looks like we did: Column A Firstname Column B Lastname Column C email address Column D "yr2007" [etc - looks like a patron category for us] E blank F blank Column G "yr2007" [etc - looks like we repeated Col D data here] Column H Patron PIN Hth, John ~~~~~~~~~~~ John Dillon Assistant College Librarian Library Systems and Technical Services Geisel Library Saint Anselm College 603.641.7349 jdillon at anselm dot edu -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bonath, Gail Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 11:51 AM To: '[email protected]' Cc: '[email protected]' Subject: [ARIE-L] Importing Patron records I have been trying to import patron records into our Ariel program (we are on ver. 4.1). I have the Excel file set up in 8 columns exactly as the user manual specifies. But every time I try to import I get the error message: Import process failed. For more details view log file. The problem is there are no details in the log file even though I have turned on diagnostic logging. I tried using a csv file of patron records with the same results. Has anyone successfully imported patron records? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
