NOTE: The ASCII file must contain a record on each line of the file, with the fields delimited by "" and separated by a comma. If you don't have any data for a particular field, you must still include "" followed by a comma. This will indicate that the field is empty.
The format should be as follows:
"Firstname","Lastname","Company","Department","Email","Fax number","Voice number"
