Do you mean Professional or Enterprise? Right now I am running Professional but we are considering purchasing Enterprise if we can get the Data Loader to work for our needs.
My account exec "turned on" Data Loader access for our account for 30 days, which is why I am able to access it.
Sounds like they turned on regular API access, but not the bulk API. You can turn off bulk API usage in the data loader settings, that should get you going.
Thanks Simon. What if I need to use it for bulk uploading (which is the reason I got it in the first place)? Wouldn't it be easier to ask my exec to turn ON bulk API access? Or is API access something else entirely? (Can you tell I'm not very technical?) :)
I'm trying to figure out the Lexiloader for my mac - but it's not even accepting my pw. I've retyped it over and over to be sure I'm not goofing it up, I re-set it in SF to be sure I had the right pw - and Lexiloader isn't accepting my log in. Anything I can do?
Hi, I turned on the buld upload option in my LexiLoader settings and still no sucess. It still says "async api not enabled." I am on the professional version of SF.
Professional Edition doesn't allow you to use API stuff like Data Loader, unless you have purchased the API add-on functionality. Enterprise and Unlimited have API functionality included.

Simon is right, the lexiloader for mac users.
Thanks for the answers. I have downloaded Lexiloader; however, when I try to upload, I keep getting this error message:
Error
Async API not enabled
Does anyone know what might be causing this??
What edition of Salesforce do you have?

Hi
I'm on developer edition testing out LexiLoader (great stuff!) to upload our existing contracts.
I get this error message:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: active_job.properties (Permission denied)
I've checked my permissions to read/write to Contracts and I'm at a loss.
Thanks either way.
Hi
In case you had a similar problem, I loaded version 16 and that worked perfectly.
Thanks.

You need to use your api security token with your password. see the online help on identity confirmation.
Thanks Simon - took me a while to figure it out but that worked!
My test file didn't upload right, I was trying to get it to add opportunities to an existing contact - is that possible?
