How to Load American Community Survey Database Queries 
In order to view previous searches containing dozens of  geographies (My ACS queries include more than 400 geographies) in ACS American Fact Finder, it is necessary to "load" these database queries

To do so :
1. Download the query using link I provide for each ACS housing data search I have completed.  (You may want to create a folder on your PC to save all these queries in one place so that you can easily locate them in the future).
2. Go to the ACS American Fact Finder website and look for the load queries header near the top of the page.  (Link HERE may take you directly to the load query dialogue) 
3. In the browse box, simply browse on your PC to locate the query that you have previously downloaded from this page. (It has a .xql file extension).

Excel 2007/2010 Format Note

Where data source is shown as "Excel 2007/2010 format .xlsx " this means that the Excel file was created in Excel 2007/ Excel 2010 file format. Some users report when they save files in this format they end up with a compressed .zip file extension. My suggestion is to RIGHT CLICK and save the file to your PC. Then navigate to the file you downloaded and look at its file extension. IF it appears as .ZIP extension, change the .ZIP extension to Excel 2007/2010 extension (.xlsx), and THEN open the file with Excel 2007/2010
