Opening an Existing Datasheet (ATD)

This topic discusses the steps to open a RockWorks datasheet created in an earlier version of RockWorks (2002 - 15).

See Opening an Existing Datasheet (RwDAT) for information about opening newer RockWorks datasheet files.
See below for opening ATD files from older versions of RockWorks.
See Opening a Project for information about opening a borehole database.

To open an existing datasheet that was saved in RockWorks2002 - RockWorks15 and has an ".ATD" file name extension, you have several routes:
1. Using the Project Manager:
  - Use this method if you have copied your older-version ATD files into the current RockWorks project folder.
  - Find the Project Manager tab in the main RockWorks program window.
  - Expand the "Datasheet Files" heading.
  - Double-click on the "atd" file name that you wish to open.
2. Using File | Open:
  - Access the Datasheet program tab.
  - Select the File | Open command.
  - In the Open-File window, set the File Type to "RW15 Datasheet files (*.atd)" option.
  - Browse for the existing RockWorks ".atd" file you wish to open. You may need to access a different project folder.
  - Click on the desired file name to select it, then click the Open button to continue.
Once the file has been opened, choose File | Save As to save the ATD file under the newer rwDat format, in the current project folder.
If this datasheet contains spatial data (X,Y coordinates and/or elevations), you'll need to define the coordinate details. See Defining your Datasheet Coordinates.
