Export/Import

Over the years I have made a copy of the same application but changed the  title based on the new year. This year I have added two new elements.  I delete all records on the copied application and export from the previous years' application any client(s) that are returning. However, I have a problem in exporting last year's client(s) and importing them into the new application. I'll list a very modified example of the elements:

2008 Application:
Name
Address
City
State
Zip Code
Home Phone #
Cell Phone #
Email Adress

2009 Application:Name
Name
Address
City
State
Zip Code
Home Phone #
Cell Phone #
Cell Phone #2
Email Adress
Email Adress2

When I export the info from the 2008 application it does'nt place properly in the 2009 application. I am not sure where to place the Ignore column tab in the import spec.

You don't use Ignore Column for this. In the Import Spec in 2009, select all except  Cell Phone #2 and Email Adress2 .
