The 'BusinessNameLineTxt' element is invalid.


The full error is here:

The 'BusinessNameLineTxt' element is invalid - The value is invalid according to its datatype 'BusinessNameLineType' - The Pattern constraint failed.

Our Explanation: BusinessNameLine1Txt is a required field. BusinessNameLine2Txt is optional. The maximum length is 75 characters. Legal characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, hyphen, parentheses, ampersand, apostrophe and single space which means that periods and commas and anything else not listed above will generate a validation error.

Common errors are:

  1. The maximum address length is 75 characters. If the name is more than 75 characters, you will get the above error along with 'The actual length is greater than the MaxLength value'. Reduce the name to 75 characters or less or use BusinessNameLine2Txt to continue the name up to include another 75 characters.

  2. You use an invalid character. Periods and commas are not allowed in the business name. You can use them when you print and mail to the employee but they have to removed before you file electronically.

  3. Leading space, trailing space, adjacent spaces can not be used. The business name ' National Software' is invalid because it has a space in front of its name. Two spaces together or adjacent spaces are not allowed. You can use one space to separate words in a business name.
