MusicMaster Enco DBF Import

C

Guest
I'm providing some assistance to a station running MusicMaster but I'm having problems getting an EncoDAD DBF file to import correctly - MusicMaster cycles through the items and appears to import (the counter is at the bottom-left of the screen) but no new files are imported.

This is the DEF file that I created according to the MM documentation, but perhaps I'm missing something? Thought I'd try here before getting them to raise a support ticket.

LocalID=(mm.GetField(101))

Thanks in advance...
 
For example, I use this to import a csv file I output. I take a file out of av, clean it up a little in excel, then save as CSV and use this. I only use it for big imports. Otherwise, I would write it directly to work with the output file of AV.

What is your purpose? One time, recurring?

Wait, I just saw that you said they had support. Just send the file to them. They will flip you around a working import in no time.
 
Thanks for the hints - It's version 4-something I think (am away from it at the moment)... Will drop them an e-mail.
