Lotus Approach - To - Microsoft Access

[AaronGregory.Net]

I am trying to reach old Lotus Approach application owners, and learn the
process that they used in migrating their old data and applications to
Microsoft Access. Anyone have any good resources at hand that I can use to
locate former or present / in-progress Lotus Approach application users?

Thanks,

Aaron

Aaron,

A few years ago I had the opportunity to work on an Access application that
was being developed to replace an existing Approach database. It was
basically a rewrite. There was very little that would have been usable due
to the extensive enhancements that were needed.

To my knowledge, there is no way to just convert to Access.

You can save Approach tables as dbf or csv files, and import them into
Access, but reports, queries, etc will all have to be built from
scratch.
