Most databases do not have automatic transfer of references from the database to EndNote Basic.  For those that do not, the file generated from the database will need to be manually imported into EndNote Web.  To do this, go to Collect, then Import References.  

Next choose the downloaded file and select the correct import option.  The first time you import a file from a database that does not have automatic importing, you will need to add the correct import option to your favorites list.  Do this by opening Select Favorites and locating the correct import option in the alphabetical list.
