import contacts not working in 5.0.0b

[agcilantro]

I am using 5.0.0b community on a shared server with 1and1. I can import accounts (up to 300 at a time) from a csv file, but the import module for contacts isn't working at all with more than 10 (!) contacts at a time.
When I go back to a version 4.5 there is no problem with either module.

MySql is 5.0, php is 5.2.4

Thanks for any help on this.

I haven't tried this myself, but others have reported a bug in the import process related to having quotes in the account name of a record to be imported.

Make sure that the company/account name on the contacts you are trying to import do not include a quote symbol.

I am doing a csv export from Cardscan, using the excel export template for cvs. I don't know if there are quotes in the flile, I will try to open it in a text editor to see.

So, for 5.0.0b I can't merge duplicate accounts, can't delete accounts from the front end, and can't import contacts to associate with the accounts.

a quick fix we did:
take the file (.csv) that you're trying to import into sugar 5 and open it up in excel
find the COLUMN that lists the account names for the contacts that you're trying to import.
highlight the whole column (only the accounts name column should be highlighted)
hit ctrl + f to do a find

search for '
and search for "

do a replace on all the ones you find (you can leave the replace blank and it will replace any ' or " with no space (it will remove them).

break your file up into chunks of 300 - 500 and try the import again.
