Ron,
If you post sample of data and format files, then I'll run on my
system to try to spot the issue.
Every trading day I import more than 10 CSVs using 3 seperate .format
files (combination of skipping/negative-allowed etc.) and so far I've
never faced any issues. (Yesterday I even imported 46 test .CSV
files using the little utility I posted - again using a
seperate .format file. No issues there either.)
Regards,
- Salil V Gangal
