I have a FileMaker Pro database that I would like to import into Access 2003.
Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks!!

You can - with some hassles - import the *data* from FMP; get the ODBC
Driver from FileMaker's website.

Access and FMP have very different data storage and data reporting
philosophies; you'll certainly need to redesign the tables (getting
rid of all the calculated fields for example, and recreating them in
Queries), and you'll need to redo all your data editing and display
screens from scratch as Access Forms.
