Press :guilabel:`Finish` and OpenLP will be ready to use your songs imported
from CCLI SongSelect.
Importing from ZionWorx
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ZionWorx (version 2.5/2.6) stores your songs in a proprietary database format
which OpenLP is unable to access directly. You will first need to convert it to
a CSV text file, which OpenLP and other tools (such as spreadsheet applications)
are able to access. This can be achieved via a free third-party utility called
"TurboDB Data Exchange".
First, locate your ZionWorx songs database. ZionWorx lets you define the
location in :menuselection:`File --> Preferences`. The database folder will
contain a collection of files such as :file:`Data.tdbd` and
:file:`MainTable.dat`.
Default location for ZionWorx 2.6 on Windows XP::
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ZionWorx\2.6\Data
Default location for ZionWorx 2.6 on Windows Vista / Windows 7::
C:\ProgramData\ZionWorx\2.6\Data
Download `TurboDB Data Exchange
<http://www.dataweb.de/en/support/downloads.html>`_ from dataWeb. The utility
will be downloaded as an archive file:
**Windows:**
Open :file:`tdbdataX.zip` and copy :file:`TdbDataX.exe` into your
ZionWorx database folder.
Press the keyboard combination :kbd:`Windows key + R` to open the
:guilabel:`Run` window.
Type :command:`cmd` and click :guilabel:`OK`.
In the command prompt window that opens, type these commands (replacing
``database-folder`` with your actual location), followed by
:kbd:`Enter`::
cd "database-folder"
tdbdatax MainTable.dat songstable.csv -fsdf -s, -qd
**Linux:**
Right click on :file:`tdbdatax.tar.gz` and select :guilabel:`Unpack` or
:guilabel:`Extract`. Then right click on :file:`tdbdatax`, select
:guilabel:`Properties`, and make sure the :guilabel:`executable` option
is checked.
Alternatively, in the terminal::
tar xvzf tdbdatax.tar.gz
chmod u+x tdbdatax
Copy :file:`tdbdatax` into your ZionWorx database folder.
Finally, open a terminal and :command:`cd` to your ZionWorx database
folder. Type this command and press :kbd:`Enter`::
./tdbdatax MainTable.dat songstable.csv -fsdf -s, -qd
You should see some feedback indicating success, such as::
Batch move has moved 408 records.
Your ZionWorx songs database has now been converted to a CSV text file. Run the
Song Importer in OpenLP, select :guilabel:`ZionWorx (CSV)`, and locate the
:file:`songstable.csv` file you just created.

After clicking :guilabel:`Next` your import will be complete.
