I am using Approach 9.8 which is fully compatible with Windows XP. Oprating system is Windows XP. Also using Access XP. I have an Approach database with a memo field, and have all the Approach files: dbf, dbt, adx (and apr). I have been trying for two full days to bring the Approach database, including the memo field, into Access and save it as an Access file with its associated file formats such as dbf and mdx. I need to provide this to Access users. Nothing seems to work. Is there is simple 1,2,3,a,b,c step-by-step process for this? I don't care about preserving views or forms, etc. Just want to have the fields and records, including the memo field, in Access format. Thank you very much!

Approach uses the standard dBaseIV file format for its databases, but it does not create the native dBase index file. You will need to do that outside of Approach.
Otherwise, I would think you could just OPEN that database in Access or link it. What have you tried?
