Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I update a subcontractors schedule every week and normally everything goes OK.  I have been doing this for over 1 year every week with the same settings and had no problems until around 6 weeks ago.  Now when I import the xer nothing changes, I do not receive any error to notify me and the import appears to be normal until checked.  When I import the xer as a new file I can see the update has been done correctly. 

 

This problems occurs with version 7 "update existing" import.  I have not (nor has he) changed the version etc or any other factor that may affect the import. 

 

Has anyone else encountered this?  I can not figure out why this is happening. 

 

Thanks in advance

check the import settings change ALL of the setting to insert new

also if this is on a server make sure that your access rights did not change

As stated the settings have been the same for over a week.  

 

The import does say it has completed and nothing changes hence the reason I have a problem.!

I am confused you say nothing changes and then you say the update has been done correctly 

double check the import settings
