Hi!
I need to import data that has been stored in a
Professional DOS database into Access. I do not know where
to begin. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shree,

The preferred approach would be to export the data from the DOS
application into a format Access can read, such as CSV or DBF files.

If you don't have the old application, check out Conversions Plus and
QuickView Plus (www.jasc.com and www.dataviz.com, I think): one of these
may be able to do the job.
