R:Base to Access Guru Desperatly Needed!

[TheNovice]

Ok I know that some of you are already cringing. but I need help! I have
some old data that I need to convert from R:Base. the file extension is RBF.

Can anyone point me to the right direction?

PLEASE! Don't make me beg! LOL

and Do you still have the AR base application running ?

the normal approaches to export the data out of the application who into a
text file, or some kinds of comma delimited text.

An other common approach is to export the data to some dBase III format,
which the access can then can import.

There is a possibility that you have no export abilities, but still have the
original application, and you might be able to print out the data to some
type of capture device (print the data)..

So the first question on this quest is do you have rbase running on another
machine, and can you use rbase to export the data into some format that
access can read......

the probelm is not the software, this company no longer has the R:Base
application. For the Computer has processed its last Byte. but we have the
back up data, we have created an MSAccess DB that works even better but we
need to import everything that was in the old database.

Any Ideas?

About the only idea I can come up with is for you to find an old running
copy of R:base somewhere.....

And, perhaps it *is* a newer version?

Why not go to the RBase web site and download a ev-valuation version?
Perhaps it can import the data, and then you simply export the data to
something you can use before the evaluation runs out?

And perhaps you can find one of the RBase support groups and see if they can
help you?

They do have a list of developers on their site, and perhaps you simply
email or contact one of them about the cost of having the data converted for
you (eg: exported to csv, or dbase format. Since these developers have the
product, a simple conversion of the data can be done at a very nominal and
reasonable cost to you....
