Creating files for use with Reflect

The Reflect software is a menu driven program that allows users to create additional tables for analysis. The same file are used by Reflect and Reflect Lite.

NOTE: If you would like to discuss the best way for you to supply CL Reflect software to your clients (those who wish to run extra tables from the questionnaire and data you supply) please see www.mrdcsoftware.com.

To create a Reflect file (for a client who has the Reflect software) you should open the appropriate set-up file, run it and then from the "Main" window select [Data] [Export data].

Here, you should select [Reflect (.QRFX)] and click [OK]. Next you should choose a name for the Reflect files you wish to generate and click [Save].

The final step is to copy the "Reflect" files onto a diskette for your client, there are 4 files which have the extensions .QRFX (the questionnaire file), .ICF, IDF, ILF (intermediate data files).

To run the "Reflect" files, your client must have installed the CL Reflect software. They should then make a new directory in which to store the files, position themselves at the new directory, and copy the "Reflect" files (.QRFX, .ICF, .IDF, .ILF) into it.

To run the files you have supplied, they should open the questionnaire Reflect file (.QRFX) you have supplied using the Reflect or CL Reflect Lite programs.
