IE 7 and Bulk Import
Posted by kurtjewel@gmail.com on March 29th, 2007


Ever since we allowed our systems to update to IE 7 we have been going
through a nightmare. The newest is that with IE 7 when I try to import
in more than 200 recrods it gives me an error saying 'Invalid
Arguement'. When I use the same exact file and import using a system
that has IE 6 it works fine. Does anyone know if there is a patch out
there to fix this very annoying error?? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

this may not work, but you can give it a try...

as the CRM configuration file is an XML file IE probably uses an XML
parser for the data transmission, you may want to check that you have
the IE6 msxml1.dll, msxml2.dll, msxml3.dll, etc xml parsers on your
IE7 system. If not, you can copy these dlls from system32 on your
computer with IE6 to the one with IE7 in the same folder locations;
they don't need to be registered.

This way, you will have all the legacy xml parsers so that if the xml
contains an invalid construct (that was valid on the legacy parsers),
there will be a parser on the system that can handle it.

Andy,
I think you misread what I wrote. This isn't an XML issue, this is
when importing in excel files (.csv). It will only allow me to import
200 at a time, anything over 200 gives me "Invalid Arguement" error,
yet all works fine when importing the file using IE 6 .

Any thoughts?
