We started our monthend and were surprised to find that all of our import templates which are based on DBF format no longer work. The importing of batches only gives us the choice of excel, cvs, and txt. Nor did I see this change in the release notes.

But we can still export to DBF.

Hello Jeffrey,

Yes - you're right - we are retiring very old import formats. This change is being propagated across all the Adagio modules and got caught in the Ledger upgrade at the last minute (the code is shared). This is the reason its mention was missed in the release note.

A quick workaround is to load your DBF file into Excel and save it as either an Excel sheet or text file. Alternatively, you can roll back to Ledger V9.0A without exposure.

An upcoming Service Pack will allow you to temporarily make DBF files available again but we are hoping to retire this format as we move to a better import/export method.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
