Hi.
I am new to FILE MAKER 7.
I would like to convert an ACCESS database to FILEMAKER.
How can i do it?

This should do the trick?

Migrate Access databases to FileMaker 7 - [FmPro Migrator for Windows and MacOS X Feature] - Using FmPro Migrator, Access databases can be migrated to FileMaker 7 in order to take advantage of FileMaker's legendary ease of use and increased data management capacity. Migrated Access databases can now grow to the maximum 8TB file size offered by FileMaker 7 and can be run on MacOS X and Windows. Note: FmPro Migrator for MacOS X generates migration scripts which are then run on VirtualPC or Windows to complete the migration process.

FmPro Migrator 3.57 Enterprise Edition from .com Solutions Inc. ($100)
incorporates an enhanced FileMaker 7 table consolidation feature. FmPro
Migrator now utilizes the free FmPro Worksheet utility to simplify and
enhance FileMaker 7 table consolidations on MacOS X and Windows. FileMaker 7
field names are now created in a manner which preserves the capitalization,
spaces and most types of special characters from the original database file.
This new functionality makes it easier to migrate calculation formulas to
FileMaker 7 with minimal changes.

This release of FmPro Migrator also adds support for directly reading the
structure of FileMaker 2 binary files for migration to FileMaker 7 or other
databases including MySQL, Oracle (8, 8i-9i, 10g), Access, SQL Server,
Sybase, DB2, PostgreSQL and FrontBase. Existing FmPro Migrator Enterprise
Edition customers may upgrade to FmPro Migrator 3.57 Enterprise Edition at
no charge. FmPro Migrator is available for MacOS X and Windows (functional
demo available). For more info please see:

Well, it's a general question, very often asked and treated.
When searching with Google "Access to Filemaker" you find
http://filemakeradvisor.com/doc/14267 as a part of it.
I guess there are a lot of those on the web, including, I think, the FMI
site itself. In short, there is no easy way to go from Access to FMP.
For the data it's OK : just export from Access and import into FMP. But
the 'structure' cannot, normally, be 'translated'. So you have to create
a brand new FMP file and as said, import data to it. That's probably the
quickest and safest way.
Just my 2 cents.

[migrating Access to Filemaker]

Given the general klutziness of most access databases, I'd recommend a
new solution anyway. Trying to emulate Access in FM will give you a much
poorer showing than doing things as FM intended.
