    IMPORTING CSV FILE TO PASTEL

    Can anyone please help me. I am trying to import a csv cash book file to Pastel. I am getting the following error:

    Line 1 date must be in the format DD/MM/YYYY
    Line 1 invalid date
    Line 1 GDC field must be....
    Line 1 the contra account must be this cash book's contra account.....

    I have attached my csv file.

    Thank You

    One of the very clever hints given on importing csv files is to export one from Pastel first, and then using that excel sheet and format insert your data and do the import. Don't know if that will help you, but I thought it a very clever suggestion as then you match the Pastel requirements perfectly.
