Anything better than NeoOffice to run my Access DB?

[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1562901, member: 234411"] Hi again [B]Linda[/B] - boy, I have no idea if what you are asking is even possible - probably not, but will have to plead ignorance? My other option was to purchase [I]FileMaker Pro[/I], but their price is $329! Well, as a retired radiologist needing just to track two personal musical DBs, did not feel it was worth the price - even joined their forum, and guess what - the program cannot import Access files directly - SO why not just export my *.mdb files to Excel and bring them into Numbers? I still have my old Dell PC in a back bedroom, so I might just update the files & export/import as described so that I can 'dump' the old computer. Now there are of course paid online services for using the MS Office programs but again why do I need that @ likely a high price. NOW, you're in a different position, i.e. need the option for work - I'll keep track of this thread to see what else may be suggested - [B]Chascag's[/B] link was interesting but again don't believe I need to fuss w/ SQL conversions - OH WELL - good luck. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
