There are Four (4) CHE Files mapped to Tuple Fields. You can open up the CHE files as exported from Tuple. Using these field mappings you can see where this data sits in your Tuple database.

Each CHE File has a File Specification in which there is a table that provides three (3) key pieces of information to help you read the export file:

  1. Fields: Field Title

  2. Length: The length of that field

  3. Position: The column that the field starts in

Although the columns are side by side in the CHE files with no borders between them, you can count the number of characters from the left or open the file using spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel.
