Does anyone know a free way of converting an old DOS based Q&A .dtf database
to Access? There are only 6 fields: first name, last name, date of birth,
date of
death, cemetary, war if any. This is for a non profit that has been
building a
cemetary database for years and need to get something modern. I will build
the
Acces piece for free. But if I can't convert the data for free the project
is dead.

There may even be an export option within Q&A that would help. I didn't
have
enough time to look at it so far.

thanks in advance,

Mark
 
Mark,
You didn't specify the version of Q&A, but I think 4.0 and above should
have an Export function. If it does, then export the data to an Ascii Comma
delimited file. (use a .TXT file extension on the exported file name)
Then... Access can Import that easily.
