Is it possible to convert forms created in filemaker pro version 6 to access
forms?

I need urgent help in this.

Thank you,

No, it not practical. You can't convert FoxPro forms to VB forms, or
ms-access forms to FoxPro, or filemaker forms.

Unfortunately computers just don' work that way. There could be some
conversion tools that might aid in the process, but at the end of the day,
you have to re-build, and re-code the application.

Not really. I've worked a lot more with Access than with FMP, but in
my experience with the latter, it has an altogether different
conceptual structure than Access. It's even difficult to convert the
data tables (especially FMP tables with calculated fields, which FMP
allows but Access does not).

With some effort you can transfer the data; but the Forms will have to
be rebuilt (and perhaps even rethought, since FMP doesn't have
Subforms).

Albert,

Thank you, I don't expect computers to think for me, I wanted to find out if
there was any conversion software out there.

Appreciate your help!
