Can i transfer a database from Access to FileMaker 12 or any other version of this program??

I transferred a DB from Omnis which is another database system, but I am sure you can also from Access. You just have to export the file and then import it into FileMaker. I usually use 'Tab-Delimited' export format (one of the common export options). Tab-Delimited will allow you to have commas and dashes and most special characters in your fields. FileMaker will create a DB with your fields when you import in the order they are exported. The only thing you might have to do is to go through each field and make the date type fit your data otherwise most fields will be considered text. Also, you might have to enter a name for each field. I was unfamiliar with FileMaker 12 when I bought it, but it only took me about 2 days (maybe 3 hours total work) to set up my DB and even build a screen that displayed the data the way I wanted it to appear.

Not sure if this is possible, I started having issue's with the ability to access it up and dumped the program.

Yes! You can select certain folders or files to transfer. In addition to compatibility with Microsoft's built-in Windows Easy Transfer software (recommended for first-time users), this cable also includes a full license to Bravura's Easy Computer Sync application (free: a $19.95 value), which adds drag and drop and other additional features for advanced users. Choose either one, making the same choice on both computers in order to successfully connect. You can download the Bravura package at www.bravurasoftware.com/easy-computer-sync. This download also includes and installs the latest versions of Microsoft's drivers (required on XP and Vista). Your Bravura Easy Computer Sync product key is provided upon purchase; enter this key when requested by Bravura's software. The product key is uniquely matched to your Amazon order number, and is licensed for use with your cable on multiple machines. How it works: You open the program and go through the steps just as you would in the sync (or automatic) transfer process, but it gives you the option to select drag and drop instead of sync. On the computer you decide to do the transfer on, it opens up a windows-like window with both computers on one split page, wherein you select folders and then drag-n-drop like normal. You can also search online videos for "Easy Computer Sync" to watch the process.

There are many format and NTFS file conversation programs available on the web. If you reformat and specify NTFS, you will lose any existing data. Conversion is safer but I'd backup it all anyhow. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx

You need to read the specs at http://www.filemaker.com/products/filemaker-pro/conversion.html to find out your route for conversion of the current files. Once they are converted, they should work fine (assuming there are not data problems).

The format are incompatible. You will need a copy of 2010 to read the database. If you still want to use 2007, you can export the data into the older format from there, but you still need 2010 to read the file.

Yes, if you check out the MDW Support site there are step by step instructions on how to do this - easy and fast

NO. What happens is you put your new XP machine in there and re-run the WET wizard only to see that there is no "Continue an existing transfer" option the wizard. Better stick with File and Settings Transfer or USMT or do it manually.

Yes it does. However MS Access has been updated numerous times since, and the '97 version has pretty small size limitations for files. If you want reliable, I would buy something newer.

The machine is old, but if your MacBook runs Word, then you can probably transfer the document to it. I have always been a PC user and that is what is used in my district.

Hi Greg, This is an upgrade. You must have an earlier version installed, or, I think, the serial number from an earlier version. I'm an Engineer and a Realtor. I write all kinda of databases to streamline my life and business. Don't know what I'd do without it. It should be a standard on every computer.

Yes, it is possible. The BEST way to do it is to simple export your data from Approach to a "standard" format, such as text or even an XLS file. Then, go into Access, create a new database, then then import the data. Richard Rost AccessLearningZone.com

In my own experiance, I suffered major data corruption, and many fact fields did not copy at all. I strongly recommend upgrading to Family Tree Maker v16 instead, it works perfectly with my 24,000 records with no issues what-so-ever.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

You can save whatever files you want to it locally (on your lan) outside of that you will be limited in speed and perhaps file size. Really, if you don't want to build your own server, it's the best way to go. I was just a little disappointed that features that were once free are now paid upgrades. Still a very good product.

Yes. Just go to advanced options and choose which wiles you want to transfer. It takes forever to actually *do* the transfer, but it works. I'm sending my laptop some videos from my desktop right now, and they're both windows 7
