Hi Herman,
That is strange that you are unable to export the inventory masterfile. I do it for my clients quite regularly, and I don't have any issues. Perhaps there is some data corruption? If you want, you are welcome to send me a backup of your database so that I can check it out.
Even if you can export the masterfile, there are certain fields, including the inventory codes and the group codes, that will not update when you import the file back into Pastel. This is because these fields integrate with other data tables in the database. If you want to change any inventory codes, and you are using Partner (not Xpress), then you can use the Change...Renumber Codes option to do so. With respect to changing Inventory Group allocations, you will need to do them for each inventory record, one at a time.
Due to the large number of inventory items that you have, perhaps you should consider starting an entire new company and take on opening balances, after importing the cleaned up masterfiles for customers, suppliers and inventory.
