Re: How do I import this?

Are the date fields meshing?

I notice you have "5/2/00"

If that is date in your database, it won't take it because of the quotes.

Check to make sure all your data is formatted correctly.

Also, the stuff surrounded by quotes, the quotes will be inputted into the
fields also.
