MassLynx error on Import Worksheet "Cannot import files of this type" - WKB1279

SYMPTOMS

• When importing a CSV file or OLB file / worksheet into the MassLynx Sample List via MassLynx Files >  Import Worksheet in order to create a new sample list there is an error stating
  "Import Worksheet   
   Cannot import files of this type" 

ENVIRONMENT

• MassLynx

CAUSE

Incorrect type of file chosen in the Import Worksheet dialog - it is set to All files (*.*) but should be the specific file type (All files is the default)

FIX or WORKAROUND

1. Specify the file type used. 
2. Browse to MassLynx > File > Import Worksheet > Files of type (drop-down menu)
3. Change from default to:  "All Files (*.*)" 
4. For Comma Delimited files select  Comma Delimited (*.CSV, *.TXT) 
5. For OpenLynx Batch Files select Generic Batch Files (*.OLB)
   
   
6. Browse to and select the desired file in the "File name:" dialog box.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For the Import Worksheet feature to work correctly, you must set a specific File of Type in the Import Worksheet dialog. This setting tells Masslynx which type of file is being imported and thus which import routine to use. All Files (*.*) does not work because this setting does not specific a file type. It only allows the user to view all file types.
