In order to load SPSS (.sav) files into Tiberius, the SPSS Data Driver needs to be installed. This Data Driver is part of the SPSS Data Access Pack. SPSS itself does not need to be installed.
The drivers can be sourced from the CD or the SPSS web site.
From Your SPSS Product CD
Insert your CD into the CD-ROM drive
The AutoPlay feature presents a menu
Choose 'Install SPSS Data Access Pack'
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen
From the SPSS web site
Navigate to http://www.spss.com/drivers/client.htm
Click the link for 'SPSS recommended drivers'
Click the link for Windows
Download the file
Run the file once downloaded
Once the drivers are installed, opening a .sav file is the same process as opening any of the other standard files types, such as Excel (.xls) or Access (.mdb). Just browse to the file of interest and select it.
