Uploading a Previously Created File

Occasionally, you may be required to send a previously created book data file to AbeBooks.  There are three reasons why you might have to do this.

• You created an export file of your book data and you wish to send it at a later time.
• You received the message "No matches - nothing to send."  This means that you have not made any changes to your book records since the last time you created a file.
• You could not connect to AbeBooks to upload the book data file during the HomeBase [Send to Abe] procedure.

In each case a file is created but not sent.  It is located in: C:\Program Files\hb2\export.  

If you have not sent a subsequent book data file to AbeBooks, you can resend the file.

To Resend a Previously Created File

1. In HomeBase, go to [File], [Import/Export] then [Export/Send to AbeBooks]
2. When the "Send Data to AbeBooks" window appears, select [Send a previously created file] and click [Send].
3. The Export window will appear.  Select the file you'd like to upload and click [Open].  
4. Complete the [Connect], [Send File], [Exit] process as usual.  The file has now been sent to AbeBooks.
