When are you going to have more put up? MQDA should be producing these if you are too busy, using your style of clear, concise, excellent instruction. Your students are very fortunate to have you for their professor. Excellent and useful webcasts. When are you going to have more put up?

It won’t allow me to save as “.txt”. Then, for importing, I can open a txt file from MAXQDA into SPSS, but I don’t know how to follow the instructions to make the file work in SPSS.

I am new to the software and your tutorials have all been quite helpful. For me, they have proven a much easier and efficient learning format than reading the manual. I am hoping there are still plans for more to come - especially looking forward to the possibility of a tutorial on coding. Thanks again for your work!

Your contribution is in that sense very useful. Within a previous post you've mentioned new releases during the Summer. Are they posted on a different website? I can't find them here. Thank you.

The only file it will open up is a .txt file. I've figured out that I can save my SPSS file as an excel file and then save the excel file as a .txt file that can then be opened up in MAXQDA. Still having trouble figuring out how to get a .txt file to open up properly in SPSS, but maybe that's an SPSS problem I need to figure out. The SPSS screenshots in the current MAXQDA manual for doing this are different from what I am seeing in my program (version 15). Aine Hi Lance,

I'm glad you've found the tutorials helpful. On your questions: 1. I plan to start posting videos for MAXQDA 10 this summer, but I will leave the existing one for MAXQDA 2007 online. My plan is to migrate the videos to the newly redesigned <a href="http://qualquant.org/" rel="nofollow">QualQuant.org</a>. When that happens, I'll post an announcement here. 2. I left SPSS in favor of <a href="http://www.stata.com/" rel="nofollow">Stata</a> a few years ago, so I'm not familiar with the current export options in SPSS. You mentioned that you're able to export a comma-separated value (CSV) file, though. Have you tried importing that file to MAXQDA? If it doesn't work right away, you can open the CSV file in your spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel, <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/" rel="nofollow">OpenOffice Calc</a>) and edit it to meet MAXQDA's import format. I suggest you start by exporting the attribute table from MAXQDA to make sure you start with the correct format. Then, open the exported file in your spreadsheet software. You can cut-and-paste your data from the SPSS file and re-save in the same format MAXQDA exported. You should be ready to import back into MAXQDA then. Let me know how it goes -- lots of other readers are probably interested in the solution, too. Thanks for the feedback, Aine. I’m glad you’ve found the tutorials helpful. On your questions:
