Hi,
I have build a site with drupal 6.2 , i install node import module and the dependency modules.
I create a sheet by Excel，and convert it to csv file.
By using Notpad++，i turn the coding of the csv to UTF-8。
Then, i use CCK to create a content type.
I want import the csv file to the CCK node. Each record of the csv file to become a node.
Follow the instruction, i choose the content type, choose the file that ready to import, and it shows the file is really upload to my server.
But when i press the next button, is says " Select file field is required. Upload a file first if there are no files uploaded yet."
So, if i have missed anything about import? Or, is there other modules can fill the requirement?

Hi,
Is there anyone can give me any advice?
PS,
Follow the help of the Node Import Module, I download the bird-houses.csv.
When I go to step 3 , it says "Select file field is required. Upload a file first if there are no files uploaded yet."
So, What is the problem?

I just downloaded the node import today and so far it is working fine. Here is what I am doing to make it work

New Import
Select Content Type
Step 2 - Allows me the option to Upload File - Select Choose File. Once I chose the file I then select Upload File.
My Step 3 is for Set File Options.

Not sure if this helps you or not.

Thanks for your replay.
I have found another solution for my application.
For simplified Chinese, Node Import or other modules which used to import record in the csv files may not effect.
But there is another way to do this.
step 1: You have to choose a database tools for drupal. I used the phpadmin.
step2: You have made some modifications to the excel files. Depend on the data structure you created by CCK,
You will need depart your data table into at least three sheets.
Each sheets' name will correspond to the name in the database of drupal.
step3: By using phpadmin, the excel file will be imported into your drupal's database.

By the way, the record that imported into drupal can be treated as node, which means you can use view to control which record will be display to the visitors! That's great!
