How do I export returns from Sure Fire Web Version (TWO) so the data can be carried forward in SureFire Install Version?

Before exporting, make sure you can log in as the correct Admin user:

  • You must log in as the root Admin (this option is only available to the root Admin, not a user with the Administrator role).
