<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Exporting Tables</span><br />
Choose the data that you want to export, and then click the Export Tables button<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/ExportImport_ExportTables.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ExportImport_ExportTables.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
Clicking the Open Export Location button will display the files that were generated during the export process.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #DCDCDC;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> the actual files that are generated may include tables that you did not select. This is because some table data has related data that exists in other database tables.</span><br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/ExportImport_ExportTablesXLS.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ExportImport_ExportTablesXLS.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
The files that are produced during the export process are simple Comma Separated Values (.CSV) files. These files can be viewed and edited if required.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #DCDCDC;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">IMPORTANT:</span> Do not edit the CSV file names. The file names are used during the import process.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Importing Tables</span><br />
To import the exported data files, click the Import tables button to open the Browse For Folder pop up form<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/UploadResults_BrowseFolder.JPG" border="0" alt="[Image: UploadResults_BrowseFolder.JPG]" /><br />
<br />
By default, the Browse For Folder form should open to the required location:<br />
C:\Program Files (x86)\Scale Race Engineering\e-Laps Race Timing\System<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #DCDCDC;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> The Browse For Folder form will remember the location that is opened, so the next time it is used, it will automatically open to the last location opened.</span><br />
<br />
Once the location is chosen, the system will automatically look for relevant CSV file to import. Assuming files exist, it will ask whether you want to import the files it has found.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/ExportImport_ImportTables.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ExportImport_ImportTables.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
Clicking Yes will import the table data from the files found... the time it takes will depend upon how many records are imported.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/ExportImport_ImportTablesDone.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ExportImport_ImportTablesDone.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
Once data is imported, an Event will need to be set up, and drivers sorted into Heats etc.<br />
