Hi,

is it possible (maybe by adding plugins) to import filemakerpro files into MS Access ?

Thanks
Jeroen
 
FileMaker 5.5 and 6.0 have ODBC capabilities and can work with Access.
 
JEROEN,
adding to what john said ...all you need to do is save a copy of the data base you are using as a .dbf file then goto access and inport those records from that .dbf file...course you probably figured that out by now but just in case you didnt
 
Jeroen,

If you need to do this regularly ODBC might be a bit slow. Also if you need te control the data format in any way or need control over the import proces and/or want to use ADO to connect to Access you might want to build a VB app including the FmConnector ( This way export/import is done in 1 step, you can control the data and use your favorite technique on Access. I've done this and it gives me much more control over the process.
