Import uses comma delimited records. Fields are inserted in the order they appear.
The first record ,the header, is ignored.
EXAMPLE:
Xyz Company\,Inc.,Accounting Dept,1200 Main St,,Chicago,IL,31456,,,,,,,,,,,comment3"
Xyz Company, Inc. will be placed in the company field
Accounting Dept will be placed in the attention field
And so forth. Empty fields in the import file still need commas a place holders.
Records exported from one Data Server file can be imported into another.
The export files created by Data Server can be used by the mail merge feature in Word for Windows, and by Data Server's import feature.
The '\,' character combination is converted to ','.
