How to Convert FileMaker Pro database files to Microsoft Access 2002

[geckojohn]

We are trying to convert our database from FileMaker Pro 3.0 to Microsoft Access 2002. Is there a program that can convert this for me? I've tried exporting the file into an Excel tab delimited sheet, and then importing that into Access... but it invoves a great deal of time. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

John

Try exporting the FileMaker tables as DBF files, then sucking them into Access.

Everything that I checked has Access going to FileMaker.

Please help... we need to start this project soon... So far, I've tried exporting the file into an Excell file with comma separated values to import into access... but its not perfect. Any advice would be helpful!
Thanks!

What formats can you export to?

I have a project to convert Access database to Filemaker database, does anyone know how to do it?

Trying to locate a Filemaker -> Access conversion method, I could not find anything directly. Looks like exporting tables to a common format and then re-importing those files into Access will be the only way.

From Access->Filemaker I found many references and steps on how to do it. Some implied that Filemaker may be able to do it internally.

Run a search using the parameters Filemaker, Access, conversion, import[b/]
