Hi everyone,
When you export a CCD for a patient, by default it gets exported to the ccd folder in the Amazing Charts folder on your computer (i.e. C:\Program Files\Amazing Charts\ccd\)
If you look in that folder, you will find several files that end with a .xml file extension. CCD_PatientId_1050.xml is an example file name. These are the actual CCD files themselves. As the extension implies, they are formatted using XML. If you open up any of these files in Notepad (or your favorite text editor of choice) you can see the XML format of the CCD. Believe me when I tell you that these are definitely not conducive to human readability, but you can certainly see all of the data (and how it is formatted.)
There will also be an additonal file - CCD.xsl - in that folder. This is the CCD Style Sheet, and it is what allows you to see the human readable form of any of the CCD files when opening them in an appropriate viewer. The easiest way to see the human readable version of any of the CCD files is to open one up in Internet Explorer. In Internet Explorer, it will display as a properly formatted, human readable report.
The caveat is that the style sheet (the CCD.xsl file) MUST be in the same folder on your computer as the CCD file (the file ending in .xml) that you are trying to view. That is what is causing the error you are seeing when you import the CCD back into Amazing Charts as an Imported Item. It successfully imports the .xml file, but it cannot find the style sheet when trying to display it. That is a bug in AC, and is something I will make sure we address in a future version. (Just as an FYI, that is the same error Internet Explorer would give you if you deleted the style sheet file in the ccd folder, or tried opening a CCD file from a different folder that didn't have the style sheet file in it.)
I hope this helped to clear up some of the confusion. If not, let me know, and I'll be happy to try and explain it further.
