The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SUMMARY

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

Microsoft Access does not ship with an ISAM driver that supports linking (attaching) R:BASE tables to Microsoft Access databases. However, R:BASE can export tables into several different formats that Microsoft Access can import.

To retain column names and data type definitions, export R:BASE tables from R:BASE using the dBASE format.

MORE INFORMATION

R:BASE can export the following data types:

  • ASCII delimited
  • ASCII fixed width
  • DIF (VisiCalc or other program)
  • SYLK (Multiplan or other program)
  • dBASE II, dBASE III, or dBASE III Plus (DBF)
  • Lotus 1-2-3 (version 1.0 and 2.0) or Symphony (WKS, WK1, or WRK)

R:BASE and dBASE are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
