Unpredictable behaviour of dataports

danloc

Hi. I'm quite new to NAV and dataport. Sometimes my dataport shows unpredictable results, e. g. if it should updates a specific field, it doesn't be execute (record 1 OK, for next records update is ignored). Could it be, that if the amount of columns of the sourcefile isn't the same as the amount of specified dataport fields this problem occurs? Are there other known reasons for such problems?

Thanks for advice.

Columns in source file must match exactly how has designed in dataport.
You can't have lines with fewer columns but you can have empty columns.

one way of controlling dataport behavior is to turn off autosave and auto update. you can then write your code to update/save the records you import.
