Question creating custom objects with custom fields and importing.

I am creating a new client database in salesforce. I have created a custom object and started to create custom fields & relationships with the parameters our current MS Access DB already has (ie. Name, Phone, Addy). I am wondering how the behaviour of the import will act if I don't include certain fields into the new Client object. 

Does my new Client Object and corresponding custom fields need to match my current DB fields exactly or can I skip certain fields?

Also if I can do this, what happens to those fields imported into my Client Object but have no matching custom field?


Thanks

Hi Mark,

Its not required to create all fields of client object in salesforce. you can skip client object fields from import mapping so there would not be a missing field error while importing. Hope this would help!
