6. Place file in your eDMR Source folder (default of c:\hachWIMS\client\EDMR\Source folder).  You MUST download an example file for each month you want to report for.  The example files contain the dates that are required to be reported, i.e. March's file has the dates for March, therefore you cannot generate a report for March using Feburary's example file.  Hint - You may want to repeat this step for several months (adding the month at the end of the filename) to make it easier in the future to create the report.
