Are you following the  HeroLab Character Import instructions Aaron?   Also, are you trying to re-import an updated HeroLab character into an existing roll20 Pathfinder sheet(which I'm not sure should be done...) or are you trying to import a new HL character?

James W. is the mastermind behind the built-in HeroLab Character import.  I'm sure he'll come along shortly and rectify things.  You might send a PM in case he doesn't pick up the thread.

export your profile as a xml file open copy past into notepad then copy past it from the txt file to codebeauty but when i do that i get 17 format errors but when i right click the xml edit iwth notepad++ then copy paste to a new txt file from there then to codebeauty i dont get the errors it works the way it was meant to
