3.  CBS will search for company setup information in the accountant’s 
transfer file that you have prepared. 
ƒ  If the import path is pointing to a floppy drive, CBS will prompt 
you to insert disk #1 into the drive. At the message prompt, click 
OK. 
If the import path is on the hard drive, CBS will automatically 
begin to copy the client setup files from the specified location. 
Note: To change the import path in CBS, choose Utilities / 
Options and click the CBS Data Folders tab. 
ƒ  If the client is licensed for the optional CBS Accounts 
Receivable module and you did not select GL account numbers 
for the client on the Accounts Receivable tab of the 
Miscellaneous Information dialog in Accountant’s Assistant, the 
program will prompt you to select a GL account number for 
several accounts receivable accounts. Select the applicable 
account at each prompt. 
4.  After the import from the accountant’s transfer file is complete: 
ƒ  For a new CBS company: The program will prompt you to 
enter your password to open the company database. 
ƒ  For an existing CBS company: The program will display a 
message prompt stating that the files were imported successfully. 
Click OK.
