Hi there,



First of all i read most of the forums, i am looking for specific
answers.

Please help me out



And the story goes...



My company has a database program. It is a simple program where you can
keep the name telephone number and some information about the contacts.
Written in i guess 1990 or something like this. Since then everyday they
are entering new contacts wow 12 years!

Even the program was not able to run in the new pcs! well thanx god i
found a patch and made it work. The program can not hold the years after
1999 Y2K problem. The software company now wants more than 3000$ to
convert the database to a new access or sql database :S well sure we can
not afford it



i can see the dat file but i can not do anything!



The questions goes..



Is it possbile to convert database to a access or sql db? ( or
even outlook )

well if it is so, even i can write a php and they can acces from web?

well also my native language is Turkish, will i get a charecter problem
on conversation?



Please help us! Thank you and willing to hear from you soon.



Sincerely,



Onur Caki

In order to get your data out you will need to have the DDF files
(data dictionary files). These include file.ddf, field.ddf and
index.ddf. If you do not have these you can try using BtSearch at
www.nssdd.com to help you analyze the structure and build the DDF
files. Once built you can export to dbase or ascii formats.
