This is no way to guess given the little you told us...
First, are the records in the exported comma-delimited file?
(If they are not there, then Stata won't import them!)
Second, what kind of messages did you get when you imported?
Third, if you show us some sample records and the Stata command
you used to import the records, we have a chance to help you.
