Download All Messages

  1. Click the Download All Files icon.  The Download All screen will open.

  1. Click the download option you want. Options and their results are as follows:

  2. Messages -- To download all your messages as received (that is, without translation), click the Download ‘Messages.txt’ File option. This will place all messages -- regardless of message type -- into a single file named Messages.txt. The Messages.txt file will then be placed in a self-extracting Zip File named zip.exe.

  3. All Translated Messages -- Messages are sent by Colonial in a text format. For users who have had their files translated to another format, such as CSV or EDI, this download option may apply. (If you are interested in having your files translated, contact Colonial.) To download all translated messages, click the Download 'Xlated.txt' File option. This will place all message translations -- regardless of Message Type -- in a single file named Xlated.txt. The file will then be placed in a self-extracting Zip File named zip.exe to facilitate the download.

  4. Individual Translated Messages -- Messages are sent by Colonial in a text format. For users who have had their files translated to another format, such as CSV or EDI, this download option may apply. (If you are interested in having your files translated, contact Colonial.) To download each translated message sent into its own file, click the Download Files button. This will place each translated message -- regardless of Message Type -- in a separate file, each with an extension representing the specific Message Type. These separate files will then be placed in a self-extracting Zip File named zip.exe to facilitate the download.

  1. From within the Microsoft File Download dialog box, select one of the following download actions:

  2. Run -- Invokes a custom File Extraction wizard designed to help you extract the contents of the Zip.exe compressed file into useable files.  This extraction can be accomplished on the fly during the download process or after the Zip.exe file has been saved to your hard drive.

  3. Save -- Invokes the Save As dialog box so that you can specify where you want to place the Zip.exe file on your hard drive. Be sure to remember the location so that you can access it after it has been downloaded.

  4. Cancel -- This option cancels the File Download process and returns you to the previous page.
