Trying to read a LEDES1998B file in Wordpad just gives me a headache.  I read them in Excel after putting them through the file opening wizard, and telling Excel how the file is delimited.  That gives me a column with each element of the file separated, and with a header telling me which value I'm looking at.  

For example, I cannot tell from your post whether the [00.00] refers to the LINE_ITEM_TOTAL/Slip Total, LINE_ITEM_NUMBER_OF_UNITS/Quantity, or the LINE_ITEM_UNIT_COST/Price.  As such it is difficult to advise you on how to go about fixing it.

As Caren has alluded to, it really just begs to have one of us remote in and take a look at it because it sounds like it should be deceptively simple to fix. Though I suspect it is somehow related to the expense category in some way if it also does it when you hand key it, as well as when you import it.

Hope this helps.

Amy,

You say you are able to "pull over the charges from our copy machine".  I presume you are using something like Equitrac and importing these expense slips into Timeslips in an aggregate total.

If this is accurate, my suspicion is that something has to be going awry in that import process, causing the slip in Timeslips to be created incorrectly, hence the export to LEDES is broken.

If you look at the expense slip in Timeslips after you have imported it, does it have the number of copies shown?

You state that you manually added an Expense slip for that item and it still failed.  Can you create a new Expense - say Copy2 - and see if using that activity item will export properly?

Thank you all for your comments. I would have responded to this earlier, but my client's computer is down today and I am not able to answer the questions above. Yes, Roger we do use Equitrac. I was not able to try to create a new expense  yet. I will try once I am able to log in. For the future Nancy and Caren, I will keep your numbers close by. I will definately keep you all updated as I am sure you are just as curious as I am.
