There IS a import reference in DXbase. However, it's not in the main DXB Help file. Start the Non-DXbase import utility located in the DXbase workgroup. Select the Target .mdb file you wish to import the data into. When the main Import screen opens, click on the Menu item Help/Help Topics. This is a separate Help file devoted just to doing Non-DXbase imports. I do three or four Non-DXbase imports a month to get my Writelog contest logs into my main DXB log. After you do that many, it gets progressively easier! Gary AL9A
