I have saved the electronic Tier Two data file to disk, but it is in a .t2s or a .zip format (both zipped file formats). Should I unzip the file?

No, please do not unzip the file. The Tier II Reporting Program can only import the data file into our copy of Tier2 Submit when it is in the zipped format (should have either a .t2s or a .zip filename extension). If you unzip the file, it will be reformatted into seven unzipped files that are linked via an embedded facility ID number. We will not be able to accept unzipped files. In addition, unzipping the files can lead to irreversible file damage, so to avoid these problems, please follow the instructions on how to export your file to disk and then leave the file on the disk in its original zipped format.
