Import db from QuickBasic 4.0 application

[Access impaired]

Yes, I'm sure that QuickBasic 4.0 was back in the time
when dinosaurs roamed the earth, but my billing statement
application has kept plugging away until now. I am
getting constant memory errors, and would like to import
the whole thing to Access 2002.

If this is not possible (I am willing to sadly accept that
possibility), any other old-timers out there that can tell
me how to adjust my memory settings to get this old DOS
workhorse to plod along under Windows 2000?

Quickbasic 4 was/is a programming language and Access is a
database application, you cannot 'import' Quickbasic to
Access 97. You need to figure out where Quickbasic stores
its records and then figure out how to load those records
into Access. You will then be left with an Access database
but no 'application' to work with it. This would have to
be rewritten from scratch in Access's own language -
Visual Basic.
Hopefully, you have the source code for your billing
application (assuming it is compiled and not interpreted),
otherwise you are in deep trouble.
This all seems more trouble than it is worth.
Can 'Quickbooks' or some other off-the-shelf application
handle your needs? Sooner or later you will have to bite
the bullet and upgrade this thing - unless you are
planning on retiring soon.
