XML-RPC error

Hello,

still trying to import customers,
when I import only the name there is no problem and the customers are loaded into the system but when I add some extra field I always get the following error

Import Error.
Error processing your first line of the file.
Field name;address/name is unknow!

Any idea what the problem can be?

Hello Elke,

Consider the following csv content for your reference:

"Name","Contacts/Contact Name","Contacts/Street","Contacts/Street2","Contacts/Zip"
"Vinay","Tang","31 Hong Kong street","dfg",23410
,"another","testing","test","234"

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.

Hi,
     According to my experience before, field "name" could not contain
comma (,) change it to dash (-). Please check it whether you have comma.

Best regards,

No result,

isn't there a possiblity to attach files to this question so I can provide some screenshots?

Anyway, I will explain the steps I do.
First I make an export of the fields I need and save this as a csv file. Then I open this file in excel, I change the data, save it back as a csv file and try to import.
I guess I'm doing something wrong during the wizard in excel. The only thing I add is in the second screen, there I mark the comma box.

Hello,

"Name","Contacts/Contact Name","Contacts/Street","Contacts/Street2","Contacts/Zip"
"Vinay","Tang","31 Hong Kong street","dfg",23410
,"another","testing","test","234"

The above .csv file will create one partner with 'vinay' name and 2 address in one2many field contact.
This way you can fill the one2many field in csv file for import operation in OpenERP.

Thanks.

Hello,

I found the problem,
In the settings of my pc, the language is set to dutch. Because of this my csv file contains a ";" instead of a comma. When I change my settings to English (UK) the problem no longer appears.
