Quotes in html tags and commas in some fields are causing issues.
Extra columns without headers are being created.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm still getting an error...

1. I adjusted the file to replace a " within the content with '
2. I opened the file using opreoffice, and it looks ok
3. I made sure to save the file in text wrangler with 'windows clrf'...
4. I also made sure the 'table headings' did not have quotes around them

do you see anything else that could be stopping this import?

Any way the 'error handling', co state where in the file it gets 'stopped'? Would help so much with debugging of my import...

I also tried to shorten the file to be just 3 records, and it still fails.

This is with trying just the file with 3 rows...

I'm using a MAC, so it's possible there are some hidden characters, or the way the file was saved has some issues...

I have opened it in Libreoffice, and it looks good, I'm not seeing any extra 'columns', although there are MANY characters in some of the fields, no ", or special characters, although I could be missing something.

thanks,
Laura
