Hello folks,

I'm in a position in which I must convert Dbase IV for DOS forms and
reports over to MS Access 97. Does anyone know of a way in which I
can actually convert these rather than have to recreate them?

Any help or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated! Please e-mail me
at buf...@ns.sympatico.ca

Sincerely,
Davis Bennett

Access, Winword, Excel, ... all those can open .DBF files.

Most things will read DBF directly. If you can't find anything on your system, try a
generic parser like ParseRat ($29.95 @ http://www.guysoftware.com/parserat.htm - but the
30 day free evaluation is fully functional and you might be able to do all you want in
that time).
