Hi Bob and Ferenc,
   I haven't done the TurboImage to Access conversion... but I regularly move
data between my Image database to FoxPro databases  (basically Access dbf's)

  I use SuprTool and output the data in PRN format (comma delimited data records
in a ASCII file)

  I then do a "Append From" command in FoxPro... I am told Access has a similar
command.

Art "Wants to learn Access! hehe" Bahrs

     Hi Ferenc,

     I'm in the same boat (and not entirely happy about it).  As a result,
     I have migrated several TurboImage databases to Access, and so can
     answer yes to (2) and (4).  The migration of the data was made quite
     easy through the use of MB Foster's DataExpress.  The migration of the
     business logic is another (ongoing) story.

     Here's what I did to move Image data to Access (Reader's Digest
     version):

     1) define procedures in DataExpress to move each dataset to the lan as
     individual dbase files.

     2) import the dbase files into Access.

     3) create relationships, forms, queries, and reports in Access as
     necessary.

     4) using Access and external VB programs, reproduce the business logic
     of the original applications.

     (1), (2), and part of (3) have been mostly automated.

     If your database is large enough, you may want to put in step (2.5),
     and 'upsize' Access to SQL Server.

     Good luck,
     Bob

Gentle List Members,
My HP days are numbered. The steam-roller of the Microsoft-party has
started.
1) Do you know MS Project?
2) Do you know MS Access?
3) Do you know a (cheap or shareware) PERT and resource alllocation
program, running under MPE/V or DOS or Window 3.1?
4) Do you know somebody who migrated a TurboImage database to Microsoft
Access under Window NT?

                                Sincerely
                                                       Frank
