- Import Errors and Warnings
-
-
-
- When importing data, M.Y.O.B. creates a file called M.Y.O.B. Import Log. It is a
-
- text file—readable by most word processors—that lists any problems
-
- encountered during the import. The M.Y.O.B. Import Log file is written in the
-
- same folder as your M.Y.O.B. data file.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá The M.Y.O.B. Import Log is overwritten during every import
-
- session. If you wish to save the log, either change its name or move it to a folder
-
- other than your M.Y.O.B. data file folder.
-
-
-
- The M.Y.O.B. Import Log first lists any record that generated an error or
-
- warning. Each record is preceded by an error or warning number. At the
-
- bottom of the log is a summary of the import session. The summary is followed
-
- by explanations of the errors or warnings encountered.
-
-
-
- Suggestion: If you are having difficulty importing a record and the M.Y.O.B.
-
- Import Log file is not helping you understand the problem, open the actual
-
- M.Y.O.B. data entry window and enter the record manually. The error generated
-
- by M.Y.O.B. may be more explicit than the error in the M.Y.O.B. Import Log.
-
-
-
- ÀáImport ErrorsÀá
-
- There are 27 things that can cause a record to be rejected by M.Y.O.B. These are
-
- called import errors. If a record is rejected, the record is written to the
-
- M.Y.O.B. Import Log file. The record is preceded by an error number between
-
- -1 and -27.
-
-
-
- ÀáImport WarningsÀá
-
- Sometimes M.Y.O.B. cannot import all the information found in an imported
-
- record. For instance, an account name cannot be longer than 30 characters.
-
- When this happens, M.Y.O.B. generates an import warning. The record is
-
- imported, but the warning is written to let you know that some information
-
- was changed or ignored. There are 115 import warnings. Import warnings,
-
- like import errors, are written to the M.Y.O.B. Import Log file. Each import
-
- warning record is preceded by a warning number between 1 and 115.
