Please reply to the entire list so everyone can learn and so that others can help you. I can't send you a patron import file because my file will have my patron's info and my library branches on it. I will see if I can update the manual to provide you more help or maybe someone else can explain the need for a branchcode better than I can.

Each patron belongs to a library, if you have only one library then add that library in the admin area and use that code for your patrons.  Every patron and every item needs to belong to a library branch - hence the branchcode.
