Thanks Tony, Right now I'm trying to convert via the Excell-sheet. Curious if that would work....

Then you have to write some conversion procedures. You extract the date and time portion with functions like (DEXTRACT(datetime)) I am aware it does not help you for now, but an important lesson I have learned in the past is to start with the conversion when you have to rebuild a system. Not only for this kind of details but also you will find hidden know how, when you analyze the content of the old tables. I hope this helps a bit.

It seems that the date and time columns in Access are really a DATETIME field, which seems to be different from the Rbase Date And Time fields. So the import works but all the date and time fields are left blank in the Rbase table.... How can I solve this annoying problem ?? Luc D.
