Hi,

That error message usually implies that the selected parameters are wrong. Verify that the selected character set is the right one and also make sure that the delimiters are correct.

Open the CSV file in a text editor to check the delimiters. Try to save the file as UTF-8 using Notepad.

If you have problems selecting the character set, send your CSV file to tech@maxprograms.com and you will get an answer.

Regards,

Rodolfo
