AccuZIP6 allows you to automatically convert many popular file formats without knowing the structure or type of file in advance. The Open List feature opens the file, creates a FoxPro database file (dbf) in the directory that you choose, and requires you to map the Input File Data to the Field List. The features in the Open Setup window provide you with ultimate control over how the data will look and how it will be processed within the AccuZIP6 Program.
Selecting the Input File:
From the File menu, choose Open List. The Open Setup window will appear:
Click the Open button 
located under Select the Input File. An Open dialog box will appear.
In the Open dialog box, browse the hard disk and locate the desired file. Select the file and click OK. AccuZIP6 will take a moment to determine the file type. Once this process is finished, AccuZIP6 will display the file type information and the location of the file.

TIP! |
If the file is determined to be a Fixed Length Text format, a Fixed Length Setup window will appear. See Opening Fixed Length Text Formats for complete instructions. If the file is determined to be a Label format, a Label Format Setup window will appear. See Opening Label Format Files for complete instructions. |
Saving the New Output File:
When AccuZIP6 opens a file it creates an AccuZIP6 Database in DBF format that can be opened anytime without repeating the importing process. By default, the program will save the AccuZIP6 Database to the same location as the Input File. However, you can choose a different location by following the steps below:
Click the Save button located under Save the New Output File to This Location in the Open Setup window. A Save As dialog box will appear.
Type in the desired Output File name.
Browse to the desired folder on your hard disk where you want to save the file. Click Save. AccuZIP6 will display the Output File location in the Open Setup window.
Continue to the next step, Mapping the Fields.
