Same here… I had lots of people look at this doc to figure out the issue and this ended up being the problem. Thanks a TON for this!

Hi everyone,
I am also doing an import, but I’m not as savvy in using notepad. How do i do the following as Ben mentioned above?

“use Notepad++ to open the csv file, select the whole file and then pick “TextFX”, “TextFX Characters” and “Zap all non printable characters to #”.”

What menu or keyboard command do I use to do the above steps?

Thanks so much

This was a real time saver for me!
Thanks for your quick and easy solution, I don’t want to know how long it would have taken until I would have found a solution.

Many thanks.

I was banging my head against the wall for 3 days trying to import a .csv file into MS Dynamics CRM 4.0 and getting “400 Bad Request”
Even opened a support case with MS CRM support, they were absolutely clueless!

Your solution worked instantly!
Great job, thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks for the heads up on “Zap All Characters”. I use Notepad++ for a lot of data editing for CRM, but I was stumped on the error you mentioned.
