I am trying to import records from an Excel file, and I inserted a record type column and imported like it says in the manual, but I still ended up with the same message that there's is at least one record type that appears to be invalid. would you like to continue anyway. not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help? thanks

The field Record Type is used in ebase to determine how to display parts of the address, so it needs to have data. You probably haven't imported a value to that field, so ebase is objecting. The usual values are Ind (Individual) Bus (Business), Org (Organization). You will want to fix the record type, either when you import or later, so it has the value Ind, Bus, etc. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
