what steps are needed to import Lotus Approach files into Access

All of my data base records are in the .dbf format used by Lotus Approach.
Before buying Windows Office I need to know how to convert them to a format
used by Access.

You best export that data into something like Excel, or perhaps the lotus
123 format....

You can even export the data as comma delimited, and then import that to
access....

I don't think access can pull that data directly out of Approach, so you
have to first use approach and export the data into something that ms-access
can import. I think Excel likely a good bet here....
