Hi JoB913,

 

This is normally caused by an invalid character somewhere in the empdupe file. Most likely copied and pasted from an external source into the address or company name fields. Pay particular attention to the address in your list (line 35).

 

I would be taking a copy of that TPAR file and then opening it in NotePad (or NotePad++) and going through the document to see if you do have any unusual characters, i.e., carriage returns or addition symbols. Based on the error report, it would be line 35 (so around the 35 card).

Once that character has been edited, you would be able to delete or change that in your AccountRight file and recreate that TPAR file lodgement.

 

Best regards,

Doreen
