Hello Ruth,

The summary field was introduced with Trombinoscope Extended v2.2, it is not available in v2.1. That is probably why you cannot import the summary field into your contacts.

Hello Olivier,

thanks for the quick answer. I try to get v2.2.

I face another problem with the character encoding of the data of the import file. My import file is utf8 without BOM, my database has the utf8-general-ci encoding. But after import the ö of the file is a Dö in the database.
I put an example import file in the attachement.

Ruth,

when I try your sample file, it is not in utf8. Once I save it in utf8, the import does work for me. Make sure you really are using it in utf8. If you save a file in utf8 then save it again, it may loose the character encoding, depending on your text editor.

Hello Olivier,

notepad++ shows encoding as utf8 without bom. If I convert it to utf8 with notepad++ and try to import the file, I get the message SQL Error 1064 Charlie_HD got too.

I fixed the problem with a csv-Export of the original Excel-Table to iso-8859-1. Now everything works fine. The values in the database are correct.

Thamk you very much for your helpful quick answers.
