I am wanting to find out if it is possible to import an inventory program (that is only accessible in DOS) to Access.
My sister has a bookstore and all her book information/inventory is in a POS Dos program. I am wanting to import that information into Access. Is that possible and if it is, how does one do that?



TIA

Can she export all her data out of this DOS program and save the output as a text file? That way, you can then import the text file(s) into Access.
