hi cat11432,

sorry misunderstanding.

in error message:

"importing directories file "c:\users.csv"
loading entries.
parsing error.  last read character 32
syntax error on line 3"

which illustrates issue more related file missing.

based on tests, command "csvde" doesn't recognize the file path "c:\", it can not load "c:\users.csv" filename. to workaround this, need remove "c:\" in command. try follwoing command:

-----------------------
c:\documents , settings\administrator>cd\

c:\>csvde -i -f users.csv
connecting "(null)"
logging in current user using sspi
importing directory file "users.csv"
loading entries...
2 entries modified successfully.

the command has completed successfully

c:\>
-----------------------
best regards,
wilson jia
