4. type valid dates for the beginning and ending dates for the current 
month (ie MM/01/YY to MM/31/YY).  If the month does not have 31 days 
then you will get an error and a chance to type in the correct ending date.

   Even if your store opened for part of the month you can specify the whole 
   month.  Feel free to upload up to two months worth of data.  Dealers
   like to see their past sales.

   Hint: to keep things simple, try specifying the 1st day of last month 
   and the end of this year.

6. After a moment a report will appear in it's own window.  Click on the 
blue "W" icon (in the toolbar next to the green X) to save (export) 
the file in WORD (.rtf) format.  This will save the file in your 
DOCUMENTS (or MY DOCUMENTS) folder.

configured for your account is available for download from your Store Page.

For your convenience, you may make a shortcut of the SALES_UPLOAD.BAT file
