It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = >I traced the problem down to a database I imported from Excel. Something >was in it that was crashing webcat. > >Are there things to avoid in a database. Certain characters, etc?Was Excel exporting the file in quote-comma delimited form? If so, make sure that quotes surround numeric fields as well.If it was tab-delimited, you have to make sure that there are exactly the same number of tabs per line -- Excel tends to be pretty spotty about how it exports. WebCatalog actually does a lot of cleanup, but sometimes even it can't figure out what's meant to be which field if it gets crazy.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
