The message "Field 'Reference' must be filled in" isn't referring to the reference field in ContactPerson, but in HRMVirtualNetworkTable. That field is related to the ContactPerson table by the ContactPersonId field, which is hidden and doesn't appear in the Excel template. Normally the ContactPersonId is initialized in ContactPerson.InitValue(), but that doesn't get called by the import routine. To get your import to work, add this code to the Conversion tab of the Table Setup of the Definition group for the Excel import:
; contactPerson.contactPersonId = NumberSeq::newGetNum(CompanyInfo::numRefContactPersonId()).num(); The message "Unknown type: 'VT_BSTR'" occurs when you try to import a cell that is formatted as text into a field that is an integer. In the Excel template, change the formatting of the cells in that column from Text to either General or Number. Jay Hofacker BKD Technologies ------------------------ Yahoo!
