hi all! so i was just presented with this problem. in a nutshell this
company is using an old DOS styled interface to enter data in to a
dbase4 database. but the guy that used to help them do this is no longer
around and now we are stuck trying to figure this one out. i've managed
to get access to open up the dbf files after some digging and i've found
their data, *sigh of relief* but i can't figure out a way to migrate
their reports they had into a familiar SQL format (if there even is a way).
so does anyone know of any tools that will allow me to migrate this
whole directory of crap into something usuable? or am i stuck going in
dbf at a time and trying to figure out what is good and bad and redoing
the reports by hand in SQL?
thanks!
ted
