importing from DBASE (DOS) to Access

S

Stephen Pittel

I have all of my old client records in an old Dos version
of Dbase (2+ i think). Any suggestions on if and how they
can be converted to access.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

dBase III links directly.
Not sure about dBase 2.

I have not seen dBase 2 files since 1985.
Your client list is pretty old <g>.

Is there an export to ASCII function?

Click to expand...

dBase II used a fixed length header that allowed 32(?) fields. You can just
open the file in a text editor and wack off the header, then use Access to
import as fixed length.
