Import Problems
Can't import the Categories or backup. Have a clean install of latest links on Windows 2000 for dev purposes and original version 2.1.1 working ok in another directory. Have exported data(s) from Category & Links Editors and also backed up from the import/export Tool. So I have enough data to work with Wink

Am I missing something simple??

Thanks - John

Errors and efforts below
====================================

When I use the Category Editor Import (All All) , I get the following Failure from import data from file or paste in text area

Rows imported: 0
Errors with the following rows:


2: Failed validation. Error:
Invalid category name: Has_Changed_Links
3: Failed validation. Error:
Invalid category name: No

... etc ..

When I try and restore Links from backup I get the following
