Pad account number with zero	The account numbers will be padded with a leading zero if this option is selected.

Notes

Select the Use .MDF database file option if you do not have IRIS Accounts Production installed on your computer. The IRIS.mdf file will be automatically attached to the SQL server and data will be read through the SQL server database. Thus, you need to specify the path to the IRIS.mdf and IRIS_log.ldf files in the SQL server database.
Do not select the Use .MDF database file option if you have IRIS installed on your computer since the import will connect directly to the database in this case. However, if you would like to import an IRIS.mdf file created from a version of IRIS other than the one currently installed, see here.
