Hi

What database are you using ?

check it out:

www.samba.org

That's one option. However, I'm not even sure that the above program will do what you want.

.org!, .org!!! OOPS!

Are you able to export to a flat text file? (CSV, TDT, etc...) If so, try exporting out of ingres, then try to import the file into Access.

If this is a large database, this may not be an option - but then again, neither would Access! Haha... Thank you folks, I'll be here all night. Be sure to tip your waitres....
