I have a potential problem as customer of ours wants to
send us a names and address file from Claris Works and i
will need to import this into a table in Access 97 i have
been unable to find out which formats claris works can
export data and the customer does not realy understand
what i need to know.
Am i lickley to be able to import data into Access 97 from
Claris Works??

Many Thanks for any advice or information

Hi Ian,

I'm pretty certain that Access can't open Claris Works files. If you
can't talk the customer through exporting to text or .dbf, I suggest you
investigate Conversions Plus (www.dataviz.com) and/or Quickview Plus
(www.jasc.com), at least one of which claims to be able to convert
Claris Works data.
