I have a large old dos clipper program wit a lot of reports, the databases being used are .dbf__I can import all the .dbf files to access 200, ok.____If i but the latest r & r sql report writer, can it convert all the old r & r report to access a .mdb table file rather than the old clipper .dbf files. All the field names would be the same.____Appreciate any help__

You can use the report conversion utility to convert from Xbase to SQL. Some reports may require additional modification after conversion depending on the features that have been used on the Xbase side. For example a calculation of RECNO(dbfname) would have no SQL equivalent.____Kathleen__R&R Support
