Hello Jos,

Do you want help migrating to Access? If you can send me a listing of your
tables and fields in each table, I could create Access tables for your
data and then build the forms for entering data. I wouldn't need to see
your lotus-approach forms; I could build the Access forms from just
looking at the tables. Regarding reports, if you can send me a screen shot
of your lotus-approach reports, I would be able to create Access reports
that display the same information as your lotus-approach reports.
Otherwise, if you can give me a detailed description of each of your
existing reports, I would be able to create Access reports that display
the information you describe for each report. We would work together to
give you an Access database that is "alive and kicking". The end result
would be an Access database containing all the lotus-approach data and
with the same functionality as your existing lotus-approach database. You
would be able to see how an Access database is setup and an application is
created. You would gain a good background for building future Access
applications. My fee to work with you would be very reasonable.

I would like some experts-advice ...

I have:
Developed a database in lotus-approach (97), wich is alive and
kicking.
Unfortunaly, this application runs only on a (out-dated) PC with W95
setup/platform.
The current data-tables are stored in DBF-files. The form and reports
are in the seperate 'apr'-files.

I want:
migrate to access ...

Is it possible (wise), both applications manipulate the
tables/records?

How do/can I proceed?

Regards,
Jos
