First of all in Filemaker export to TAB delimited text.
Open up Access and use the wizard in Access to import this TAB file.
I have never had problems doing it this simple way. Steve Butterworth

Dates are always a pain. I find the best way is to move dates as a text field. Although as you say they can always be <doctored> in a spreadhseet.

There isn't access for mac is there?

Are you guys referring to File Maker Pro 5 and Microsoft access 2000?

Same way as I said before in this thread, unless of course whoever created this application has not disabled exporting. Steve Butterworth

Hi Guys
Is there any easier way yo convert Filemaker to Access - such as that the relationships and formats are exported as well.
Maybe a type of software?
I am fairly new to looking at Filemaker and there is a project at work that requires us to convert Filemaker to access and obviously we would like to do this the easiest way possible.
Thanks
Amanda
