Common Errors

[Blank] or *
If your rating submission fails, but it does not give you a descriptive error message, this usually means that a special character in your username or most likely your password is not processing correctly on submission. The solution is to login to http://buildingsregistry.resnet.us and click on "Change Password" on the left menu. The following special characters are known to work fine: !@$*

Unexpected End of File
This error typically indicates that there's an illegal special character in one of your REM/Rate fields.

Feel free to send your input file to registrysupport@resnet.us for assistance in finding the illegal character.
