  2. Navigate to your existing export file (most people use prism.dat) and select it.
  3. Click the Open button.

If you need to create a new export file:

  1. With "(None)" highlighted, click  Create , then choose  File , and click the OK button. A dialog window will open.
  2. Create an empty folder on your computer's hard drive called e xports (you can just click the little folder icon with the starburst, located at the top of the dialog window).
    1. Recommended: create the folder on your C drive, within your User folder. The path will look similar to this: C:\Users\jdm9\exports\
  3. Double click on the exports folder to open and select it.
  4. Type in a filename (it can be anything, but something short is good) in the File name field of the dialog window. The file type should be Export Data Files (*.dat); you can change it if needed. Click the Open button to create the export file.
  5. Verify that your Export Destination is correct, then click OK to save this setting. You should end up with a path that looks something like C:\Users\jdm9\exports\oclc.dat
