    I am using the File Based system and I read my responces in the admin area. I tried downloading the data.dat file but it will not import correctly into any program I have. Can Someone help?

      Hi there,
      Im not a experienced user, but as far as i know, you may have an "output" from your MySQL database, by using phpMyAdmin-alike (or itself) program. It may give an output as a *.csv file, which can be imported by different applications like Excel.
      I'd wait for another experienced user/programmer for more accurate answers.

      the file based system doesn't really have anything to do with MySQL. but the good news is the file based database, data.dat, is already in a "csv-like" format. The fields are separated by a the pipe charachter "|". I'm sure Excel or any other spreadsheet application would be able to import from it without any problems.
