To illustrate the exported fields and data, the exported text file is opened in a spreadsheet. 

Once the text file is saved, you need to launch your spreadsheet application i.e Excel, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Ultra Office, etc. 

 If you do not enter and save the Export.txt file name, you may replace existing (previously exported) files. 

If the exported Text (*txt) file is opened (active), and you are trying to open the export file with the same name, a similar error message as the following will be displayed:

Cannot create file "D:\Export\Export.txt". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 

On your spreadsheet application, open the accounts saved text (*.txt) file and confirm your tab delimited settings ("Separator Options") on the "Text Import" screen. 

This will open your exported text file of the accounts in a spreadsheet. An example of the exported file opened in "LibreOffice Calc" spreadsheet, is as follows:
