6. Click on the down arrows on the right side of the box labeled "Part Number" and click on the choice called "PART_NO." You have just told QwikQuote that you want to import the field "PART_NO" into the Part Number field within QwikQuote.

7. Make appropriate choices for the rest of the fields. For instance, choose "MANUFACTURE" from the list for the field labeled "Manufacturer."

8. It is not necessary to have a choice for each field. For instance, you would leave the "Weight" field as "None" since there is no data to import to that field.

9. When you have aligned the fields, click on the "2. Import Records" button to begin the process. .10. QwikQuote asks you to create a new database by naming it. Enter a database name in the "File name" field. For instance, "Products." You do not have to add the ".mdb" extension, it will be added automatically for you. Then click "Save".11. The bar that appears below the import buttons will fill to 100% while QwikQuote imports the records, and you will see the list you have imported in your product database.
