Tom,

Okay, I just tested it again and it works as you say.  When I was getting the import errors before--caused by not having data in key fields--it appeared that it stopped at the default number--25--which was only limiting what I could see, not what was imported.  So it works fine.

I am not aware of these bugs in Excel that were mentioned.  After creating my CSV file, I used a raw file viewer and did not see any extra characters or missing characters.  I am using Excel now to edit the CSV files and they import fine.  Is it true that there has to be a default value in rToneFreq?  And what about the errors I get when there are columns with header text but no data in the column?  Could this be caused by Excel?

Regards, Chris W7CFN

Did I miss this too?

Not sure what you mean about memory range view being related to the
number of rows imported. I've imported outside the currently selected
range many times and never had an issue. I just did it again now to
verify. The memory range view is just a view; it doesn't affect
imports.

Regarding the Excel bugs, there's only so much we can do about people
using 3rd party software to edit Chirp files and getting unexpected
results. As I said in my first email, I recommend editing Chirp files
with Chirp. When you edit with Chirp, it maintains all the proper data
in the proper columns. There is no need to delete headers or fill your own
defaults--it's all automatic in Chirp. Feel free to write some documentation
about the caveats you discovered when editing Chirp files in Excel.
