They are not files created by Access, but am told that they are standard access .mbd files. Since the file will be on the unix system, Access isn't an option to export the data, so it looks like I'll be using PERL to access and write out flat files.
I was looking for a more direct UV->.mbd solution (with minimal costs and implementation). Thanks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jacques G.

I've imported data from mdb before, the simple way is to export the files to a tab delimited and convert the tables to UV. If you do your dump with the field names in the header you can even use those names to build your data dictionnaries. Another way would be to use .NET to open the .mdb files and use UniObjects to connect the two. > How difficult would it be to read the data from the > access > .mdb file, and populate a UV file for TCL queries? > Assume ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
