Errors occur for different reasons such as, but not limited to, slowness in the environment, lack of system resources or incorrect user rights.

To fix the error

Objective is to replace the damaged "ttaudit.dbf" file in the "issue" company data folder with a copy of the same file from the "Demonstration" company (an undamaged file from a backup would also work). Do not use this process for other files.
Locate the Payroll installation folder. This has a default name of Payrollv but may be different - can identify via start-up icon properties. Company data is stored in Payrollv sub-folders:
- The Demonstration Company is stored in "DATABASE".
- The issue company folder name will be capitalised, and probably an abbreviation of name shown at logon screen.
Ensure nobody has the software running, and as a precaution, make a backup of the entire installation folder.
Locate "ttaudit.dbf" in the DATABASE sub-folder, make a copy of this file, and use it to replace the same file in the issue company sub-folder.
The leave import process should now work correctly.
