I had problems do to unsee character at the end of the csv file that I was trying to import.
also I delete the status and just used the default ACTIVE
The excel file was not working so I used csv file
also when I view the csv file in notepad I noticed ,,,,,, on some of the lines which was a problem, delete ,,,,, to fix

It was a pain, took about a hour to find and fix the problems.

save the exported file as a CSV, highlight the whole file as if you were going to copy it (Ctrl A) look the file over for unwanted characters (spaces or CR or line feeds).

- Do a (Ctrl A) and notice the . is 4 lines down, there is no need for a access level it with use the default you assign.

using the Winpak Import Utility in Windows7

I was getting error - WIN-PAK is running in demo mode. This feature in not in demo mode

I needed to right click the import Utility icon and Run as Administrator for it to open

Then I had problems finding the file I was going to import because of Permissions, I needed to right click the card.csv file and added full control to the winpak user.
Also card 1.csv would not work, I removed the space

Attached is a guide to importing cards into winpak-pe/se

1. Run a card Report export it to excel, then clean it up.
2. With in the New install Create ALL the access levels.
3. Run the import program, Located within the winpak directory.


If needed: Win-Pak 1.0 Database will open in excel.
the files are .DBF and Excel will open
PKCDMAIN.DBF is the card and name file

Honeywell will convert your old database to winpakPE (BUT ONLY THE CARDS)
It's joke do it your self.
