Hi I'm looking for a way, towards the end of the year when some students are on exam leave, to remove the timetabled lessons for staff and students without removing the staff and students from those classes. I still need to run reports that show the teacher and students as being members of that group/class. Any ideas please? Many thanks

Thanks both - the ETHNICITY data was the issue, removing it or using one of the accepted codes worked. I've now managed to code a simple CSV to XML converter that will allow me to collect applications data using a Google form or similar, convert to the accepted SIMS XML format and I can then import. It's very crude (fields and formatting are hardcoded in Java) but it does the job and isn't too bad to edit if necessary - happy to share the code if anyone would benefit from it. Thanks for your help

Just wondering if anyone has managed to get the XML applications import feature to work (part of SIMS Independent) Routines > Admissions > Import Applications? I initially got a number of errors (despite the XML tags matching the SIMS documentation) and now that I have resolved these I get "The file cannot be imported because of the following errors: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." - not exactly the most helpful of error messages! I really can't afford to wait for Capita to get round to looking at my ticket so any help would be really appreciated. I've attached the very basic stripped-down XML (fake data) that still won't import. Cheers application.zip
