Bad allocation error when import a CSV

[Litterone]

Morning,

since I've upgraded to the last version 1.9.2 I've been having the "Bad allocation" problem when trying to import the CSV with transactions.

my import file structure didn't change - below the details on my version.

Can you help with that?

Best

According to the release notes, the following changes were implemented in version 1.9.2:

I’m not sure whether this has any bearing on your problem.

Which version of MMEX were you using when you upgraded to 1.9.2?

[Litterone]

I don't remember which version I had before.

I'll try to go back to 1.9.1 and see whether it gets solved, but in case it does, I hope I won't be in the situation to be unable to upgrade anymore in the future.

Thanks for your quick turnaround, Renato.

I've moved back to v1.9.1, but I get the same error => "Bad allocation"

I've installed v1.9.0, same error => "Bad allocation"

I installed version 1.8.1 (that I believe was what I had before upgrading to 1.9.2), but when I try to open the program, it says there is an issue with the DB v20 (see attachment). Can you please support?

thanks,
andrea

You can send me the .mmb file and, if possible, the last .mmb file from before the upgrade, along with the .csv file, to info@mmex.ch, and I’ll take a look at them.
I can, of course, guarantee that your data will be kept strictly confidential.

René helped with the resolution.

I just had to change the csv delimiter from "|" to "¦" and the import works again with the latest version 1.9.2.

Many thanks!
Andrea
