Importing Excel Data/variables

I am very new to FM and have both FM5 and FM8. I have an Excel Spreadsheet containing a subset of the variables I want to put into my FM database. This subset will remain fixed for each record. Is there a way to import these variables by name if the names in Excel matches those in the FM database? Each record represents a series of fixed questions (that I would like to import) followed by summary statistical information for each question which I am generating and will attempt importing from SAS. I noticed that the person (long gone) who originally did this somehow has an option of "auto-enter previous" on the fields that I would like to import by name. I am assuming that this will simply automatically fill in these fields for each record. I suppose I could directly import these variables and their fixed values from his original database if that is possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.
