Is there a way to convert DBase IV v2.0 designed forms and database to
MS access format?

Hi Stephen,

You can definitely import DBase IV files into Access. The exact steps vary
according to the version you have. Search Help for Importing data, etc.

I haven't ever imported from DBase files, so I don't know if you can import
anything other than the tables and data. Access does allow you to import
selected objects from other Access database files, including tables,
queries, forms, reports, modules, toolbars, etc; but I very much doubt that
you can import non-table objects (the forms, etc) from a non-Access
database.

Good luck,
