Import Monitor Data for Windows

Use this dialog to import Monitor data for Windows. ChemPoint can not read Monitor for Windows files directly. You must first use Monitor to export the data to a dBase file. ChemPoint will then import the data from the dBase file.

Monitor Data File -- This is the name of the dBase file created by exporting your Monitor data to dBase. You must use Monitor to export your data to dBase before you can import the data into ChemPoint.

Format -- Select the format for your source dBase file. Different versions of Monitor export to dBase with different table structures, so ChemPoint provides this option to support multiple table structures.

To determine your table structure, open the DBF file using the ChemPoint Table View Utility. There should be a shortcut to the table viewer in your ChemPoint programs group off of the Windows Start menu.
