hi,

i'm trying to import a csv file into nms, but continously get an error msg -> Error line 1, not enough fields.

i made a test file which looks like this to rule out any error from exporting from mac addressbook:

name,email,list
user1,mail1@mail.de,test
user2,mail2@mail.de,test
user3,mail3@mail.de,test

any help on this is greatly appreciated.

greets, rtkd

I'm testing a new version of NMS at the moment (and import works in the new version).

I had difficulties too, but fond out that the problem was the CSV which Excel generates. It uses ; (semicolon)  instead , (comma). So I had do substitute all semicolons at a text editor and then it worked.

I believe you can change the semicolons for spaces in Excel
