Importing fail, error 939135204

Trying to import a RIS export from Endnote X1. In both Zotero 1 and 1.5 beta, I got:
An error occurred while trying to import the selected file. Please ensure that the file is valid and try again.

BibTex import works, but doesn't bring in the pdf file locations...

I'll e-mail in the file I'm trying to import. I'm running Windows XP.

Thanks

    Hmm.. couldn't find an e-mail address to send the RIS file too. Let me know if it will help resolve the issue.

    How big of a file is it? Try just breaking off the first two or three records and importing those. If that fails post that chunk to the forums.

    Issue Resolved.

    The error appears to have been caused by RIS entries that contained multiple UR elements. Endnote had put some file links in the URL field, so I would have

    UR - http://something
    C://file

    When I deleted the second lines, the import worked fine.
    Thanks for keeping an eye on the forums!
