You will download a single self-extracting executable zip data file that contains all the data files and the documentation. All databases are available in MS Access^® and SAS^® format.

• MS Access^® contains the data imported into a database in MS Access® format. You need MS Access 2000 or higher to use this file.
• SAS^® contains the data in SAS formatted files.

Documentation is included in a PDF file with each download.

Record counts, i.e., the number of records in each data file, are also included with each download. In the FNDDS databases, the record counts are tabulated in a file named FNDDSRecCount. In all other databases, the record counts are in the documentation.
