If ACA Track runs into a problem when it attempts to open your employee or dependent data file, it will stop the upload process and display the selected file name in red, indicating it cannot be opened:

If you experience this issue, please take the following steps:

  • Make sure your file is closed and saved directly to your computer. Do not try to select the file directly from a cloud-based storage server.
  • Make sure the file or workbook is not password protected.
  • Remove any external links contained within the file.
  • Save the file in .XLS or .XLSX format. No other formats are supported.

 

Once you have taken all of the above steps, return to the New Data Batch upload page and select your file again. If the problem persists, contact your project manager.
