Two questions about converting data to SPSS

[Eric]

Hi,

I've been having some problems trying to convert my data
to SPSS from ACCESS.

When I use DBMSCOPY, a file conversion program to convert
from ACCESS to SPSS, the main data converts ok, but there
are two shortcomings:

a) The Field Descriptions from Access do not get converted
to the 'Label' Fields in SPSS.

b) The Look-up Fields in Access do not get converted to
the 'Values' fields in SPSS.

Is there a way to make these conversions happen?

If there isn't, is there even a SIMPLE way of copying and
pasting the descriptions from ACCESS to the SPSS labels
that you are aware of? (At the moment I can only copy and
paste ONE description at a time, which is tedious.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Eric

You'd be better off asking an SPSS newsgroup. Look here to find one:
