[mso] Re: Converting Old DOS database to Access

What kind of DOS database are you working with? "Get External Data" under
the File menu in Access works for dBase and Paradox files, for instance.
You can choose to link the information -- I did this for a time when I was
gradually switching over from dBase to Access. Or you can choose to simply
copy the information to an Access table.

Is there a simple way to do this conversion? Do we need a special program
to
put the database into a format that can be read by Access?
