Open a Dictionary or Specifications File

  1. Click on the toolbar; or from the File menu, select Open; or press Ctrl+O.
  2. Select either the data dictionary file (*.dcf) you want to open, or an export specification file (*.exf), if you had previously saved one. The dictionary file describes the data you wish to export. An export specification file saves the information about which dictionary to use and what selections were made.
