    Hi Manjunath,

    Did it work before or did you newly start with the data import export framework? Or is this a new client installed?

    Anyway, this error occurs when the DIXF components are not installed. For the preview grid, on the client machine, you need to install the client component: docs.microsoft.com/.../install-the-data-import-export-framework-ax-2012-r3

    Hi Manjunath,

    After installation of AX, DIXF as a module but you still need to install additional component as well to use DIXF.

    You need to install DIXF client services from installation media. After all , please restart AOS services.

    Can you share your AX setup page screenshot?

    Hi Manjunath,

    You can review if the client components are still installed on his machine. You can also try to clear the AUC files from the users application directory. Deepak wrote a blog about deleting these files: www.theaxapta.com/.../how-to-delete-auc-files.html
