Build 1200 and CSV file problem?

dcopple — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:17:51 GMT

I can load a csv file in build 900, but 1200 crashes upon loading the same exact csv file. Anyone else have this problem too? Hope this one is fixed with 1500.

Hi,
I've loaded csv files into 1200 without any problems in the past. If your data is not private, could you post your file (or part of it) so we can try it out?

Sure, it is our fire reports for the State of Montana. I usually set the ID to Firename, and veiw all fields. It opened fine in build 900, but not in build 1200. I am hoping the build 1500 is much more stable, and works alongside ArcDesktop. I had to uninstall it on my desktop as it affected ArcView 9.3. I now have build 900 again and this file will open fine, I have build 1200 on a laptop, and ArcGIS Explorer crashes everytime I try to load this. So, here is the CSV file. We can't use build 1200 until the other bugs get with ArcDesktop get resolved. Thanks for getting back to me.

Don:

Your fire incidents text file loaded just fine into my install of AGX 1200. My AGX 1200 and ArcInfo 9.3.1 coexist on the same Dell D630 laptop (Vista, SP2, 4GB RAM).

I have 9.3 on my desktop and ran into the problem, you can read on some of the other threads. We have been instructed not to install for now. Not sure why 1200 crashes on my laptop. Arc 9.3 is not on my laptop. I will see if I can see what the error report is, or how would I go about creating a dmp file to post here for review?

Hi,

I just tried your file using an unreleased version of Explorer 1500 and the application crashed. I've submitted a bug report and assigned it to the appropriate person. I'll post progress on this issue when i get some

There is a walkaround to the issue:

this file has text qualifier, therefore you need explicitly define it. On the file delimiters page make sure "Treat consecutive delimiters as one" is checked, and select appropriate text qualifier, in your case it is ". Import the text file, everything will be fine.

Meantime, we'll fix the crash before the next release.
