[EmData] Help with importing problems

[Joe Mathia - Em Support]

Hi Ariana,

There were some issues with file selectability in earlier versions of Xdata
for Quark 7.  These have been addressed in more recent releases; you might
want to try the latest:

Regarding the import problems, it is really impossible to say without seeing
your actual files, though it sounds like it is either a problem with your
fields statement, or (shudder) something in your logic.  Anyhow, if you
could zip up and send us your quark document/Xdata prototype and your data
file (please be sure that the data file as a header row so that we know what
we are looking at), we can have a look.

Regards,

Joe Mathia
