I have a Lotus Approach db from a client and need to pump it into Access.
Anyone know how to do that?

I should add that the file is named {Myfile}.APR
So there are no .dbf's supplied unless they are "inside" the .APR file.

Im no expert and I cannot help your request.
However I would also like like to know how to easily
convert from Approach to Access.

I know that the *.apr file does not contain the data. One
of Approach's claim to fames is that it works with all
sort of databas type files. DBF3, DBF4, Foxpro.

If you get a responce can you let me know.

Basically, you will need to export the data into a format that Access can
read -- .dbf, .csv, .xls for instance. Then you can pull the data into
Access. Any user forms or reports will need to be recreated in Access.
