4.6 Dataview Basics: Opening a Database or Data File
  • Click Open for the File Open dialog box:

Maptitude recognizes certain file extensions as being certain types of files:

File Type Extension
Comma- or tab-delimited text .TXT, .CSV
DBASE or FoxPro .DBF
Fixed-format text .ASC
Fixed-format binary .BIN

If your table is one of these types, but has a different extension, use Windows Explorer or another file manager to change the extension.

You can also display data from a database or data file by choosing Open File from the New Dataview dialog box.
