will need to import this into a table in Access 97 i have
been unable to find out which formats claris works can

what i need to know.
Am i lickley to be able to import data into Access 97 from
Claris Works??

Hi Ian,

I'm pretty certain that Access can't open Claris Works files. If you
can't talk the customer through exporting to text or .dbf, I suggest you
investigate Conversions Plus (www.dataviz.com) and/or Quickview Plus
(www.jasc.com), at least one of which claims to be able to convert
Claris Works data.
