A SuperSTAR Table file (file type '.scs') contains both a definition of the query used to generate the cross-tabulation plus the aggregated results generated when the query was originally run against the SuperSTAR database/cube.

It does not contain a copy or subset of the original micro-data held in the SuperSTAR database/cube.  This only exists within the SRD (cube) file, or the original SuperSTAR database.

You can use SuperTABLE to open the SuperSTAR Table (.scs file) and view the information it contains without having to have access to the original SuperSTAR database/cube. However, if you do happen to have access, you are given the ability to seamlessly reformat the query shown in SuperTABLE and run your new query against the SuperSTAR database/cube to get back fresh results.

If you open a SuperTABLE Table but you do not have access to the original SuperSTAR database/cube then the Field selection window is not displayed and the associated toolbar button that normally launches the Field selection window is greyed out.
