Well, reading again through the docs "IC databases "  on page 9, it seas 
to set
EXEL attribute to 1, to avoid problems when importing exel sheets.
Have done this  but without success, also opened and saved the file 
again to make sure it was tab delimited, also
this doesn't make the file to be imported, no items on the list again ?


Still digging further.....  


Meanwhile what could I have missed ?
