[Archon-L] Collection content load issues

[David Malone]

Anyone have an idea why a collection content upload would not be successful?

The file is structured properly, but I get alternating (and annoying) responses of "collection not found" when the collection is entered. I'm no longer getting the "failed content" message.  I've tried adding a classification and then adding this to the upload file, but the same results.

I'm attempting this load for another department. Are there any "illegal" characters that can't appear in any field? For instance "ca." appears in some date fields. Question marks appear in others and "/"s appear in yet others. Would this have caused the "failed content" uploads?

I'm stumped.  I'm uploading as UTF-8.
