Title:
Convert MS Works Files
I know that this isn't a FoxPro question, but since I'm the "Computer Guy" at this client site I've been asked to solve a problem converting MS Works. I was hoping that someone has run into this situation somewhere and can offer a solution. I have looked through Microsoft's web site with no luck.
This client used an old version of MS Works and created hundreds of files to control AR/AP/PR. They have since moved into accounting software, but still use the old files as backup.
They have upgraded to NT 2000 and MS Office 2000. The MS Works is on an old Packard Bell that was the original computer.
As you know, Access can not open a MS Works file. The file must be opened in MS Works and then saved in Access format. This will take days to do. I've been looking for a conversion utility that would do this automatically. Seems to me someone may have written something for this.
Again, I apoligize for posting a non FoxPro question on this site, but I've run out of places to look.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry Morelli
