weft qda users - Mar 2013 - [Weft QDA users] importing to NVivo? and one more q

Hi all--I have a dataset coded in Weft and would like to convert over to 
NVivo.  I don''t suppose there''s any way to import my current
codes into
another qda program is there?

Otherwise I will do it manually, but is it possible in Weft to look at 
each interview file on its own *after* it has been marked up by all of 
the various coding categories?  I seem to only be able to look at files 
grouped by codings, which combines multiple interviews.

Many thanks!
Jen

It depends on what format the other software would accept. BUt generally 
no, no straightforward way.

Not as far as I remember in the software. The coding information (links 
between document sections and categories) is held in a pretty simple 
database, the db format is called SQLite. You might try opening it in 
something like http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/ to get a systematic 
view of all the codes / docs.

many thanks for the quick feedback
