Open an Application

  1. Press Ctrl+O; or from the File menu, select Open Application; or click on the toolbar.
  2. Select from the Files of type: at the bottom of the dialog box. You can open either a data entry application file (.ent) or a Program Information file (.pff).
  3. If you opened a data entry application file, you will be requested to select the name of the data file(s).
  4. Enter the Operator ID (if required).
If you already have another application open, it will be closed.
CSEntry also accepts a single command-line parameter. It may be one of the two following types:
  • .ent: This is a data entry application file. CSEntry will prompt for the data file(s).
  • .pff: CSEntry will open both the application and the data file(s).
In either case, you must specify the full filename. For example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CSPro 8.0\CSEntry.exe" MySurvey.pff
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CSPro 8.0\CSEntry.exe" "Census Application.ent"
