Select Database Type

Use this dialog to select the database type to import. Select your database type from the drop-down list box. If your database type is not listed, you must convert your data to one of the selected types. A spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel can converter data from many different formats to one of the types listed here.

Tab-delimited text is the most reliable format. dBase is the easiest format to use if you are sure your dBase tables are formatted properly.
