Hi Kasper,

Conversion as such is not possible. Filemaker can export the data in a
format that Access can import (e.g. CSV or DBF), but for the rest you
will need to design and build an Access database that does what you
need.

Unlike Filemaker, Access is a fully relational database management
system. Many things that are easy in Filemaker will seem very clumsy if
you're new to Access (or to relational databases) - but many things that
are impossible in Filemaker are fairly straightforward in Access.
