Hi,

I have the following question, what is the best possible way tot convert my Filemaker Pro Database in a Access (2000 or 2003) database. Hope to hear from you,

Happy new year

Hi Kasper,

Conversion as such is not possible. Filemaker can export the data in a
format that Access can import (e.g. CSV or DBF), but for the rest you
will need to design and build an Access database that does what you
need.

Unlike Filemaker, Access is a fully relational database management
system. Many things that are easy in Filemaker will seem very clumsy if
you're new to Access (or to relational databases) - but many things that
are impossible in Filemaker are fairly straightforward in Access.
