DM Crashing when trying to Import

Post by nlkamper »

We just downloaded DM and are excited to use it! However, every time I try to import our old excel file, DM shuts down completely. We are using a Vista machine, and Excel 07. I tried the whole saving the excel document as an older version, and it is still happening. Any advice?

Sorry you are running into a problem here.

Try this: save your Excel file as an Excel 95 / 5.0 format file. That almost always works.
