The Open command allows you to open a data file created by the StepWatch program (2.0 and later). To open files from previous versions of the StepWatch software, you must use the Import Data command. Once a file is imported, you may use the Save or Save As… commands to store the file in the current StepWatch format.

On machines running Windows, all files in a directory which end with .swb will show up in the list of StepWatch Document file types showing in your Open dialog box. To see files not ending with .swb, you will need to select the "All Files" from the Files of Type: pop-up menu in your Open screen to see your files.

The Open command will not open database records. For further discussion, see help for Opening a Database Record.
