MS Access Forum / New Users / January 2008How do convert a MS Works Database to Office database?
I have been using a Works database for some time and would now like to start using Access. Can I transfer all my data and form design to Access? Or must I redesign and input everything manualy? Any advice will be much appreciated. From what I have read, you cannot import it. You might be able to export the table data to a csv file or similar and import the data to Access. I'm pretty sure the forms must be recreated.  SignatureRick B > I have been using a Works database for some time and would now like to start > using Access.

Actually, Micro$oft's KB has an article on just this subject! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197894 SignatureThere's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat! Answers/posts based on Access 2000 This is particularly useful b/c the first article links you to another article addressing the "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object filename. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly." It had not even entered my mind that the problem could be the filename LENGTH! I have been very frustrated by this and truly at an impass! THANK YOU!!!!!
