==================
Dear all,

I runned a survey to test the data before I start my reseach. Part of this test is to see how the raw data will look like. 
I am experiencing problems importing the data. I follow the steps as indicated: 

The location of the file .dat I changed in FILE/ also as Limesurvey indicates:  
Still it fails to import the data. I think I have taken the correct steps, but still SPSS cannot find the data. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have a tip for me?

Thanks again!

Kind regards,
Peter Paul.

 Apple changed the security settings when introducing OS Catalina.
There are some threads here about this.
I do not know exactly, but try to put the data file into a different folder, like root.

Search the internet. There are some videos on youtube

Thanks Joffm,

It worked: I relocated the data to my desktop folder and after the 'Run All' I got the data sheet. 

Greetings,
Peter Paul.
