Converting a foreign data base to Access

[Tom C]

My friend uses something called "Alpha5" for a mailing
list, and they do not have MS Access. Is there some way
I can take their file and convert it for use on my PC
which has ACCESS? As I understand it, Alpha5 does have
an Export function.

Any help would be appreciated,
Tom

Hi Tom,

My name is Amy Vargo. Thank you for using the Microsoft Access Newsgroups.
You will need to save the Alpha file as a file type that Microsoft Access
can directly import. For example, as a Text, Excel, or DBase file. For a
list of valid file types that you can import/export/link to in an Access
database, please see the article below.

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
