Invalid Entry File Column Number - error

This error can occur when there is no value in the Field No. field (also referred to as 'entry column number') for the event number quoted in the error message.

In Meet Organisation main menu go to Before Meet > Meet Definition > Event and select the event quoted in the error message.  Check the Locate in Entries File > Field No. field for the specific event and for other events in the session/meet, if necessary.

Before proceeding any further - please back up meet files by selecting Meet > Export > Meet Events Archive from the main menu and clicking OK.

If you find an event with blank Field No. field (ie no entry column number), open the meet schedule (menu path Before Meet > Meet Schedule) and File Schedule with the Setup Entries Files checked. When asked if you want to overwrite any entry files answer NO or you will loose all your entries.

You should now be able to re-process the meet.
