To import the LimeSurvey response data please use the following steps:

1. Click the 'Export to SPSS' icon.
2. From the select boxes select which responses you want to export and your SPSS version.
3. Download both files, the .sps (SPSS syntax command file) and .dat file (data file)
4. Open the .sps file with SPSS by opening SPSS, then select 'Choose another type of file' and select the downloaded .sps file.
5. Now an editor opens inside SPS where you can edit the commands in that file. Look for the line that starts with '/FILE=...'
6. Edit that line and adjust the path so it points to your .dat file. Example: Your *.dat file is in c:\temp so set this line to  /FILE='c:\temp\survey_(xxxx)_SPSS_data_file.dat'
7. Now select all commands inside the editor by pressing CTRL-A.
8. From the SPSS menu select Run/All.
9. Be patient, it will take some time to import all data and labels. Check the status bar for the progress.
10. Done!
