Subject: [LegacyUG] MS-Access use with Legacy

I just picked up MS-Access 2003 with the intent of using it to create
indexes of my files.  I have 8 file categories:  newspaper clippings,
photographs, documents, voice/video recordings, correspondence, city
directories, census extracts, heirlooms.

Each category has a unique file number prefix and each item in every
category is assigned a file number. For instance, I have photographs
numbering from P-0001 to P-0847; I have newspaper clippings numbering from
N-0001 to N-0985; I have documents numbering from D-0001 to D-0770; and so
on.

Does anyone know if there is anything available from Legacy or elsewhere
that explains how/where certain elements of data can be located in the
Legacy database using MS-Access?  For instance, I would like to extract from
Legacy the RIN, First Name/MI, Last Name, Married Name, and User ID to read
into the database I'm creating for the various file categories.
I have used ASCII before when transferring data between programs but needed
to know field sizes and so forth, I "think" I would need similar field size
and location information from Legacy to accomplish my intent.

It appears as if Legacy has data segmented into a collection of tables.
Is there a description available that explains the type of data each table
contains?

If there is anyone on the list who has created or is using a similar
database system for their files I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks
Gary
