Re: CCL:converting an sdf database into a chemfinder database

 Hi all
I should note that the file that I am trying to open and convert, CANS03.sdf, is a file that I obtained from the NCI database (I don't have the url with me, it's at work), and it originally couldn't be opened with CACTVS, until someone at the NCI "fixed" it. CACTVS now reads it, but won't write it out, at least not the whole file. The part that CACTVS does write out, can be read by Chemfinder, however. CACTVS will currently write out the first 37 structures I believe and then not write anymore, but only if I write the first 15 and then append the next 15 and so on. SO it writes two sets of 15 structures and then 7 of the next 15 and then stops. I'm doing this using the CACTVS browser, btw. 
 I hope this helps all of those that responded with questions/suggestions.
 TIA,
 Richard

 Hi all
 I'm wondering if there is anyway to convert an sdf database into something
 that Chemfinder can read easily.
 Chemfinder is supposed to be able to import sdf databases, but the file I
 have must not be formatted correctly, because chemfinder can't read it.
 Thanks in advance,
 Richard
